PREFACE.
In presenting this, the lirst general directory c»f
Warren county, to our patrons, we ask only that rea-
sonable consideration which the beginning of every
new business enterprise demands and which all chari-
tably inclined persons are willing to accord. We feel
assured thit all fair minded business men will grant
this. We do not claim for our work absolute freedom
from mistakes, but we do claim that we have con-
stantly aimed at accuracy, and that our purpose has
been so far reached as to render the Directory ade-
quate f jr all the practical purposes for which it is
intended.
In the preparation of our work we have encountered
a vast deal of prejudice, the cause of which is obvious,
but we have persevered honestly, and now hoi)e to
satisfy the most incredulous of the uttor absence of
all thought on our pairt,'. to imx^ose ux)on oi- in any
measure whntever, deal tHif airly with the people. It
has been our aim to make this work valuable not only
to the business man, but to every resident of the
county. If we have succeeded we shall only be re
warded for honest labor and money expended, and if,
in the judgment of our patrons, we have failed to do
so, we shall still have the satisfaction of an honest
purpose faithfully pursued.
As to the mistakes that may be found in the Direc-
tory a word will suffice. Some names may be mis-
spelled, some addresses and occupations wrongly
stated, but it is impossible that these things should
not occur. These facts are due not to any lack of
effort on our part, but to the mistakes of men em-
ployed by us and to typographical errors.
Moreover, we claim that our Directory of Phillips-
burg, (although there has been a number of Direc-
tories i)ublished of the town,) is the most accurate and
complete of any ever issued. An examination of its
contents we think will prove it.
This work cannot fail to be of benefit to the county,'
and in return we solicit a liberal patronage.

/ T is deemed necessary by the compilers of this
V volume to precede the history of Warren
""^^"^ County by a brief history of the State of which
il forms a part.
It was not long after the voyages of Columbus
that John and Sebastian Cabot, two Veuetiarss in the
service of the King of England, Henry VII, were com-
missioned • "to discover the isles, regions, and provinces
of the heathen and infidels, which had been unknown
to all the nations of Christendom, in whatever part
of the globe they might be placed." It was under
that commission that the Cabots discovered the island
of ^'ewfoundland, on the 24th of June, 1497. 'i'hey
sailed from there southward along the coast as far as
Cape Florida. We have no jjroof that they endeavor-
ed to form settlements, but they landed in a number
of places and took possession in the name of the King
of England. But from various reasons the English
did not take advantage of these discoveries till almost
a century afterward. A patent was granted to Sir
Walter "Raleigh by Queen Elizabeth of England, in
1584,, to discover, occupy and govern ''remote, heathen
6 , HISTORY OF NEW JB^RSEY.
and barbarous countries" not previously possessed by
any Christian prince or people. Under that authority
Raleigh, in conjunction with his associates, sent two
ships to America under the command of Amidas and
Barlow. They landed at Roanoke, took possession
of the country in the name of the Sovereign whose sub-
jects they were, and called it Virginia. Attempts were
made in 1585 and in 1590 to establish settlements, but
both were unsuccessful. In 1606, King James, ignor-
ing Raleigh's right, granted a new patent of the
countr}^ of Virginia, embracing all the territory be-
tween the southern boundary of North Carolina and
the northern boundary of Maine, It consisted of
two districts called respectively North and South
Virginia. The southern district was granted to Sir
Thomas Gates and his associates, chiefly residents of
London, and therefore styled the London Company.
North Virginia was granted to Thomas Hanham and
his associates, who were styled the Plymouth Com-
pany.
It was in 1609 that Henry Hudson, sailing under
the ausxnces of the Dutch East India Company, in at-
tempting to find a passage through the American Con-
tinent, and thus make a short cut from Europe to
China, entered the Delaware Bay on the 25th of
August. ' 'Proceeding along the eastern coast of New
Jersey he finally anchored inside of Sandy Hook on
Sept. 3, 1609. On Sept. 5th he sent a boat's crew
ashore southward in the vicinity of the Horseshoe, to
take the soundings of the depth of the water. Here
the boat's crew landed and penetrated into the woods
in the present limits of Monmouth county, New Jer-
sey. These were probably the first Europeans who
set foot upon the soil of the State. Henry Hud-
son failed to find the Northwest Passage, but what is

of far more importancn, lie discovered the North
River, and sailed up to the head of navigation. What
a contrast between the palatial steamers of to-day
which ply these waters and" the Half Moon on its
pioneer voyage.
The Dutch were quick to avail themselves of the
advantages which the discovery of Columbus opened
up to their view. "In 1610 it appears that at least
one ship was sent hither by the East India Company,
for the purpose of trading in furs, which it is well
known continued for a number of years to be the
princiiDal object of commercial attraction to the new
world. Five years after Hudson's voyage a com-
pany of merchants, who had procured from the States-
General of Holland a patent for an exclusive trade on
Hudson's River, had built forts and established trad-
ing posts at Xew Amsterdam (New York), Albany,
and the mouth of the R<^»ndout Kill. The latter was
a small redoubt on the site of what is now the city of
Kingston, N. Y. It was known as the 'Ronduit,'
from vrhence comes the name of Rondout. The fort
near Albany was upon Castle Island, immediately be-
low the present city, and the one at Nevr York was
erected on what is now the Battery "
The exact date of the first European settlement
within the present limits of New Jersey does not dis-
tinctly a])pear. It is thought that the first settlement
commenced at Bergen — so called from a city of that
name in Norway — in 1618 by a number of Danes or
Norwegians who accompanied the Dutch colonists to
the New Netherlands.
In 1621, the privileged West India Company
was formed in Holland. In 1623 this company dis-
patched a ship loaded with settlers, subsistence and
articles of trade, under the command of Cornelius
8 HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
Mey. He gave his own name to the cape at the north-
ern part of Delaware bay which it still retains — Cape
May. He built a fort upon a stream called by the
natives Sassackon. It is a tributary of the Delaware
a few miles below Camden, and it is now called Tim-
ber Creek. He named the fortification Fort Nassau.
It is highly probable that this was the first at
tempt ever made to form a settlement on the eastern
shore of the Delav/are.
David Pieterson De Vries who arrived in the
Delaware in the winter of 1630-31 found that Fort
Nassau had fallen into the hands of the Indians. He
built a fort; coloni2;ed his immigrants and went back
to Holland, and for some years not a single European
was left upon the banks of the Delaware.
In 1637 two ships arrived in the Delaware bringing
a number of Swedish settlers. Other companies fol-
lowed, and in 1642 John Printz, a military officer, was
sent over as Governor of the colony. He established
himself upon the island now known as Tinicum. and
built a fort, planted an orchard and erected a church.
In 1655 the Dutch, under the command of Peter
Stuyvesant, and coming from Manhattan, fell un-
awares upon the Swedish settlements. They captured
fort after fort, made prisoners the princ^iDul men and
carried them to New Amsterdam. The Dutch, how-
ever, retained possession of the country but a short
time, for in 1644 Charles II, King of England, sent
over Col. Nichols with a fleet and army. He made a
comi)lete conquest of New Amsterdam and the sur-
rounding country, and all the Dutch possessions fell
into the hands of the English.
Immediately after the subjection of New Amster-
dam by Peter Stuyvesant, and even before this had
been accomplished, Charles TI made an extensive

■grant of territory to his brother, the Duke of York.
This was done by a royal charter dated ^th of
March, 1664.
The Duke of York in turn conveyed that portion
of it now known as New Jersey to two other persons,
Lord Berkely and Sir George Cartaret. The form o*f
the conveyance was as follows:
"This indenture made the three and twentieth
day of June, in the sixteenth year of the Raigne of
our Sovereign Lord Charles the Second, by the Grace
of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland,
King, Defender of the Faith— Anno Dominie 1664.
Between his Royal Highness James Duke of York
and Albany, Earl of Ulster, Lord High Admiral of
England and Ireland, Constable of Dover Castle, Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Governor of Ports-
mouth, of the one part, John Lord Berkely, Baron of
Stratton, and one of his majestie's most honorable
privy council, and Sir George Carteret of Strattum in
the county of Deyon, Knight, and one of his majes-
tie' s most honorable privy council, of the other part,
Witnesseth, that said James Duke of York, for and
in consideration of the sum of ten shillings of lawful
money of England, to him in hand paid, by these
presents doth bargain and sell unto the said John
Lord Berkely and Sir George ('arteret all that tract of
land adjacent to New England, and lying and being
to the westward of Long Island. Bounded on the
east part by the main sea, and part by Hudson's
River, and hath upon the west Delaware Bay or river,

and forty minutes of latitude, and worketh over

thence in a straight line to Hudson's River — which
said tract of land is hereafter to be called by the name
or names of Nova Cesarea or New Jersey."
It is thought that the nanje of New Jersey ' was
given to honor Cartaret, who had so ably defended
the island of Jersey against the Long Parliament, in
the civil wars. And the instrument of conveyance
above given is thought to be the iirst one in which the
bonds of New Jersey are regularly defined. *'The
two proprietors formed a constitution for the colony,
securing equal privileges and liberty of conscience to
all, and appointed Philip Carteret Governor. He
came over in 1665, fixed the seat of government at '
Elizabethtown, purchased knd of the Indians, and
sent agents into New England to invite settlers from
that country. The terms offered were so favorable that
many accepted the invitation.'"
The constitution that was gianted by Carteret
and Berkely continued entire until 1676, when the
province became divided, and was the first constitu-
tion of New Jersey.
The colony began to be disturbed by domestic
disputes a few years after Governor Carteret began
his administration. Some of the i)roprietors having
purchased their lands of the Indians before the con-
veyance of the Duke of York, refused to pay rent to
the proprietors. Because df this and other com-
plaints the people arose in insurrection in 1672, and
Sir Philip was obliged to leave for England, His
officers ^vere imprisoned and their estates confiscated.
The government was then assumed by James Carteret,
a weak and dissolute son of Philip.
War occurred with Holland in 1673 and the Dutch
sent over a small squadron which arrived at Staten
Island July 3(Jth. Captain Manning, who had charge

of the town diirino- the absence of Gov. Lovelace, re-
jected the aid of those who offered to defend the place,
sent a messenger to the enemy and struck his flag be-
fore the vessels of the enf^my had appeared in sight.
He surrendered the place unconditionally to the
enemy without striking a blow. He was aftei-ward
tried by a court martial and pleaded guilty to all the
charges made. His sentence, remarkable as his con-
duct, was as follows: "Though he deserved death,
yet, because he had, since the surrender, been in Eng-
land, and seen the King and the DuTce^ it was ad-
judged that his sword should be broke over his head,
in public, before the city hall, and himself rendered
incapable of wearing a sword, and of serving his ma-
jesty for the future, in any public trust in the gov-
ernment."
The Dutch dominion lasted but a short time, as
tlie following Spring a treaty of peace was concluded
and New Netherlands (comprising the territory of
New Y^ork and New Jersey) was again restored to the
English, who continued in undisturbed possession un-
til the war which secured the independence of the
United States of America.
Doubts having arisen as to the validity of the title
of the Duke of York, a new patent was issued in 1674
and Edmund Andros was sent over as Governor.
Philip Cartaret who had returned to England in 1672
came back in 1675, and was welcomed by the people,
who had been uneasy and dissatisfied with Andros'
tyrannical rule. Philip Carteret "postponed the
payment of their quit-rents to a future day, and pub-
lished a new set of ^'•concessions'' by Sir George Car-
teret- Peace was again almost restored. These new
"concessions" however, restricted the broad grant of
political freedom originally framed. Because of An-
12 HISTORY OF IS'EW JERSEY.
aros' efforts to enforce the Duke's nnjust pretensions
much uneasiness still continued. Gov. Cartaret at-
tempted to establish a direct trade between New Eng-
land and New Jersey, but was opposed by Andros,
who even went so far as to confiscate the vessels en-
gaged in such trade, and sent a force to Elizabethtown
to arrest Gov. Carteret and convey him a prisone)' to
New York.
Lord Berkely, dissatisfied with the pecuniary out-
come of his colonization scheme, disposed of his in-
terest to John Fenwick, in trust for Edward Byllinge,
both members of the Society of Friends. The convey-
ance to these individuals was executed to the former
intrust for the latter, for the sum of one thousand
pounds. The tract thus purchased was afterward
known as West New Jersey^ embracing about one-
half of the State as now constituted. The division
between East and West Jersey was made by Carteret
and the trustees of Byllinge, July 1, 1070. The line
of partition was agreed on '"fj-om the east side of Little
Egg Harbor, straight north, through the country to
the utmost branch of the Delaware river." ''This
line was extended from Little Egg Harbor as far as
the south branch of rhe Raritan, at a point^just east
(>f the Old York Road. It was run by Keith, the sur
veyor-general of East Jersey, but was deemed by the
West Jersey proprietors to be too far west, thereby
encroaching on their lands, and they objected to its
continuance. On the 5th of September, 1008, Gov-
ernors Coxe and Barclay, representing the respective
interests entered into an agreement to terminate the
dispute It was that this line, so far as run should
be bound, and that in its extension, it should tjike the
following course; "From the point where it touched
the South Branch, along the back of the adjoining
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 13
plantations, until it touches the North Branch of the
Raritan at the fall>^ of the AUamitung, thence running
up that strea'iu northward to its rise near Succasunny."
From that jxiint a short straight line was to be run to
touch the nearest part of the Passaic River. Such a
line would pass about five miles North of Morristown.
The line was to be continued by the course of the Pas-
saic River as far as the Paquanick, and up that
branch to forty-one degrees north hititude, and from
that point in ''a straight line due east to the partition
point on Hudson River between East Jersey and New
York." This line gave to the northern part of West
Jersey the present counties of Warren and Sussex,
and portions of Morris, Passaic and Bergen. The
Coxe-Barclay agreement was not carried into effect,
although the division line constituted the eastern
boundary of Hunterdon County until Morris Cc)unty
was erected, in 1738."
Edward Byllinge in consequence of losses in
trade was financially embarrassed and compelled to
convey in trust his interest to William Penn, Gawen
Lawrie and Nicholas Lucas (all Friends or Quakers)
"to be used for the benefit of his creditors." Before
this, however, he had sold a number of shares^ and
the trustees sold many of them to different purchasers,
who thereby became proprietors in common with them.
Fenwick soon after made a like assignment. "As
these trustees were Quakers, the purchasers were
mostly of that body. Two companies were formed ;
one in Yorkshire, the other in London, both intent
on colonization in America, and in the same year
some four hundred persons came over, most of
them of considerable means. Daniel Coxe was con-
nected with the London company, and one of the
largest shareholders ; subsequently he became the
14 HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY,
owner of extensive tracts of land in old Hunterdon
County."
In 1677 commissioners were «ent b\' the propri-
etors, with power to buy the lands of the natives ; to
inspect the rights of such as claimed property, and to
order the lands laid out ; and in general to administer
the government pursuant to concessions. These
commissioners were Thomas Olive, Daniel Wills,
John Kinsey, John Penford, Joseph Helmsley,^
Robert Stacy, Benjamin Scott, Richard Guy and
Thomas Foulke. They came in the Kent^ commanded
by Gregory Marlow. This was the second ship from
the East to the Western parts. After a tedious passage
they arrived at Newcastle the 16th day of June.
King Charles, the Second, pleasuring on the Thames,
came alongside in his barge and knowing where they
were bound asked if they were all Quakers and gave
them his blessing. They landed their passengers,
consisting of two hundred and thirty persons, above
Raccoon creek, where the Swedes had some scattering
habitations. There were too manj' of them to be all
provided for in liouses and consequently some were
obliged to lay their beds and furniture in cow-stalls
and places of that sort. One of the most inconvenient
things to which they were exposed was the snakes,
which took up their abode frequently upon the hovels
under which they slept. Some of the passengers in
this ship were of good estates in England, but most of
them were Quakers. The commissioners who had left
them before this and arrived at Chygoe's Island (aft-
erward Burlington) went to treat with the Indians
about the land there and to regulate the settlements.
They not only had the proprietors', but Gov. Andros'
commission for that purpose ; for in their passage
they had first dropped anchor at Sandy Hook, while
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 15
the commissioners went to New York to acquaint him
with their design. They believed that the powers
they had from the pro|5riHrors were sufficient, but'
due respect for the Duke of York's commission re-
quired them to call upon his governor. They were
treated courteously by him, but he asked them what
they had to show from the Duke, his master. They told
him nothing, particularly, but that he had conveyed
that part of the country to Lord Berkely, and that he
had in turn conveyed it to Byllinge, etc., in which the
government was as much conveyed as the soil.
The Governor replied that all that would not clear
him and that if he should surrender without the
Dnke's orders it would be as much as his head was
worth. If they had but a line or two from the Duke
he would be as ready to surrender to them, as they to
ask it. The Commissioners did not ask for any ex-
cuse for their neglect to bring such an order, but in-
sisted upon their right and asserted their independ-
ence. Andros, however, clapping his hand upon his
sword told them that he should defend the Govern-
ment from them till he received orders from the Duke
to surrender it. Afterward, however, he backed
down from that position somewhat and told them that
h»^ would do all that was in his power to make them
easy, till they could send home to get redress ; in
order, thereto, he would commission the same persons
mentioned in the commission they produced. They
accepted that and commenced to act as magistrates
under him, till farther orders came from England, and
proceed in relation to their land affairs according to
the methods prescribed by the proprietors.

plied to the Swedes for interpreters between them and

Helmes were employed. Through their hel^) a pur-
chase was made from Timber Creek to Raiilvokas
Creek, and another from Oldman's Greek to Timber
Creek, xlfter this they purchased hind througli an-
other interpreter that they employed — Henric Jacobus
Falconbre — from Rankokas Creek to Assunpink.
They had not enough Indian goods to pay for the
last purchase, but gave them what they had to get
the deed signed. They, however, stipulated not to
settle on the land till the remainder was i)aid.
"The deed for the lands between Rankokas Creek
and Timber Creek bears date the li)th of September^
1677; that for the lands from Oldman's Creek to Tim-
ber Creek, the 21 tit of 8eptenihei\ 1677 ; and that
from Rankokas Creek to Assunpink, the \Otli of Oct-
ober^ 1677. By the consideration paid for the lands
between Oldman s and Timber Creek, a judgment may
be formed of the rest. It consisted of 30 match- coats,
20 guns, 30 kettles and one great one, 30 pair of hose,
20 fathoms of duifelds, 30 i^etticoats, 30 narrow hose,
30 bars of lead, 15 small barrels of powder, 70 knives,
30 Indian axes, 70 combs, 60 pair of tobacco-tongs, 60
scissors, 60 tinshaw looking glasses, 120 awl blades,
120 fish hooks, 2 grasps of red paint, 120 needles, 60
tobacco boxes, 120 pipes, 200 bells, 100 jewsharps and
6 anchors of rum."
' 'Having travelled through the country and viewed
the land, the Yorkshire Commissioners, Joseph
Helmsley, William Emley and Robert Stacy on be-
half of the first purchasers, chose from the falls of the
Delaware down, which was hence called the first tenth.
The London Commissioners, John Penford, Thomas
Olive, Daniel Wills and Benjamin Scott, on behalf of
the ten London proprietors chose at Arwaumas — in
and about Avliere the town of Gloucester now is. This

was called ^lle second tenth. To begin a settlement
there Olive sent up servants to cut hay for cattle he
had bought. When the Yorkshire Commissioners
found that the others were likely to settle at such a
distance they told them that if they would agree to
stay by them they would join in settling a town, and
that they should have the largest share in .considera-
tion that they — the Yorkshire Commissioners — had
the best land in the woods. Being few, and the In-
dians numerous, they agreed to it. The Commission-
ers employed Noble, a surveyor, who came in the first
ship, to divide the spot. After the main street was
ascertained he divided the land on each side into lots;
the one on the East among the Yorkshire proprietors,
the other among the Londoners. To begin a settle-
ment ten lots of nine acres each were laid out. The
London commissioners also employed Noble to divide
the part of the island yet unsurveyed, between the
ten London proprietors in the manner before men-
tioned. The town thus by mutual consent laid out,
,the commissioners gave it the name of New-Beverley,
then Bridlington, but soon changed it to Burlington.
Among the heads of families which came in the ship
last mentioned were John Wilkinson and William
Perkins. They died on the passage and their fam-
ilies were exposed to additional hardships, which
were greatly alleviated by the care of their fellow-
passengers. Perkins was, during his youthful days,
impressed with the principles of the Quakers, and
lived well in Leicestershire ; but coming across an
account of the country written by Richard Harts-
horne he was impressed with the advantage that it
might be be to himself and family and though fifty-
two years old embarked in this ship with his wife,
four children and servants. It being late in the Fall

when they arrived, Winter was aln ost gone before
they began to build their habitation.-. Ip the mean-
time they lived in temporary shelters built after the
manner of the Indian's wigwam. The supplies of
Indian corn and venison brought by the Indians w^as
their chief food. These poor -red men were at that
time comparatively free from the curse of strong
liquors, and generally very friendly to the Engli^h,.
although it was thought that endeavor had been nuide
to make them otherwise by telling them that the
English sold them the small-pox in their matchcoats.
The next ship that came over was the WiUing
Mind., commanded by John Newcomb and having on
board some sixty or seventy passengers. She dropped
anchor at Elsingburg. Some settled at Salem ; others-^
at Burlington. In this year, 1677, the "Flie-boat
Martha" also sailed from Hull the latter end of the
Summer with one hundred and fourteen passengers
designed to settle the Yorkshire tenth. Several settle-
ments were started and West Jersey became as early
as 1680 quite populous. Some heads of families who
came over in the "Flie-boat Martha" were Thomas
Wright, William Goforth, John Lynam, Edward
Season, William Black, Richard Dungworth, George
Miles, William Wood, Thomas Schooley, Richard
Harrison, Thomas Hooten, Samuel Taylor, Marma-
duke Horsman, William Oxley, William Ley and
Nathaniel Luke ; the families of Robert Stacy and
Samuel Odas ; and Thomas Ellis and John Botts,
servants, sent by George Hutchinson, also came in
the ship. Twenty of the passengers, perhaps more,
were living forty-five years afterward." — SmWi's

"The following, extracted from a letter fromi-
Mahlon Stacy, one of the first settlers of New Jersey,
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 19
to liis brother Revell and some otliers, is descriptive
of West Jersey at this period. It is dated 26th of
April, 1680 :
"Bat now a word or two of those strange reports you
have heard of us and our country; I afSrm they are not true,
and fear they were spoke from a spirit of envy. It is a country
that produceth all things for the support and sustenance of
man, in a plentiful manner ; if it were not so I should be
ashamed of what I have before written. Bat I can stand, having
truth on my side, against and before the face of all gain-sayers
and evil spies. I have travelled through most of the places
that are settled, and some that are not; and in every place I
find the country very apt to answer the expectation of the
diligent. I have seen orchards laden with fruit to admii'ation,
their limbs torn to pieces with the weight, and most deUcious
to the taste, and lovely to behold. I have seen an apple tree
fi-om a pippin-kernel yield a barrel of curious cyder; and
peaches in such plenty that some people took theii' carts a-
peach-gathering; I could not but smile at the conceit of it.
They are a very delicate fruit and hang almost like our onions
that are tied on ropes. I have seen and known this summer
forty bushels of bold wheat of one bushel sown ; and many
more such instances I could bring which would be too tedious
here to mention. We have, from the time called May until
Michaelmas, great store of very good wild fruits, as straw-
berries, cranberries and hurtleberries, which are like our
bilberries in England, but far sweeter ; they are very whole-
some fruits. The cranberries are very much like cherries for
color and bigness, which may be kept till fruit comes in again.
An excellent sauce is made of them for venison, turkeys and
other great fowl ; and they are better to make tarts than either
gooseberries or cherries, We have them brought to our houses
by the Indians in great plenty. My brother, Kobert, had as
many cherries this year as. would have loaded several carts.
It is my judgment, by what I have observed, that fruit trees
in this country destroy themselves by the very weight of their
fruit. As for venison and fowls, we have great plenty; we

have brought home to our houses by t!ie Indians, seven oi '
eight fat bucks of a day, and sometimes put by as many having-
no occasion for them. And fish, in tbeir season, are very
plenteous. •My cousin, Revell and I, with some of my men.
went last third month into the river to catch herrings ; for at
that time tliey came in great shoals into the shallows. AVe
had neither rod nor net, but after the Indian fashion, made a
round pinfold, about two yards over and a foot high, but left
a gap for the fish to go in at ; and made a bush to lay in the
gap to keep the fish in ; and when that was done we took two
long birches and tied theu* tops together, and went about a
stone's cast above our said pinfold ; then hauHng these birch
boughs down the stream, where we drove thousands before
us, but as many got into our trap as it would hold. And then
we began to haul them on shore, as fast as fast as three or
four of us could, by two or three at a time ; and after this
manner, in half an hour, we could have filled a three-bushel
sack of as good and large herring as ever I saw. And as to
beef and pork, there is plenty of it, and cheap; and also good
sheep. The common grass of this country feeds beef very
fat ; I have killed two this year and therefore I have reason
to know it. Besides, I have seen killed this fall in Burlington,
eight or nine fat oxen or cows on a market day, and all very
fat. And though I speak of herrings only, lest any should
think we have little other sorts, we have great plenty of most
sorts of fish -that I ever saw in England, besides several other
sorts that are not known there- — as rocks, catfish, shads,
sheep's heads, sturgeons ; and fowls plenty — as ducks, geese,
turkeys, pheasants, partridges and many other sorts that I
cannot remember and would be too tedious to mention. In-
deed, the country, take it as a wilderness, is a brave country ;
though no place wiU please all. But some wiU be ready to
say, he writes of conveniences and not of inconveniences. In
answer to those I honestly declare, there is some barren land,
as (I suppose) there is in most placss of the world, and more
wood than some would have upon their lands ;, neither will
the country produce corn without labor, nor cattle be got
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 21
without something to buy them, nor bread with idleness — elss
it would be a brave country indeed. And I question not but
all then would give it a good word. For my part I like it so
well I never had the least thougnt of returning to England,
except on the account of trade. Mahlon Stacy.
In a letter to William Cook, of Sheffield, and
others, Stacy wrote thus :
" This is a most brave place ; whatever envy or evil spies
may speak of it, I could wish you aU here. Burlington will
be a place of trade quickly; for here is way for trade; I, with
eight others, last winter, bought a good ketch of fifty ions,
freighted her oufc at our own charge, and sent her to Barba-
does, and so to sail to Saltertugas, to take in part of her lading
in salt and the rest in Barbadoes goods as she came back ;
which said voyage she hath accomplished very well and now
rides before Burlington, discharging her lading, and so to go
to the West Indies again. And we intend to freight her out
with oui- own corn. We have wanted nothing since we came
hither but the compauy of our good friends and acquaintances.
All our people are very well, and in a hopeful way lo live much
better than ever they did ; and not only so, but to provide
well for their posterity. They improve their lands, and have
good crops ; and if our' friends and countrymen come, they
will find better reception than we had by far at first, before
the country was settled as now it is. I know not one among
the people that desires to be in England again — I mean since
settled. I wonder at our Yorkshire people that they had
rather Uve in servitude and work hard all the year, and not be
three pence better at the year's end, than stu- out of the chim-
ney-corner, and transport themselves to a place where, with
the hke pains; in two or three years, they might know better
things. I never repented my coming hither, nor yet remem-
bered thy arguments and outcry against New Jersey with
regret. I live as weU to my content and m as great plenty as
ever I did ; and in a far more likely way to get an estate.
Though I hear some have thought I was too large in my
former, I affirm it to be true ; having seen more with mine

Mahlon Stacy.
" From the Falls of Delaware, in West New
Jersey, the 2&h day of the Ath month, 1680."
The death of Sir George Carteret, sole proprietor
of East Jersey, occurred in 1679, and by will he
ordered that province to be sold to pay his debts.
This was done by his ^'' widow and executors, by in-
denture of lease and release, bearing date the 1st and
2d of February, 1681-82, to William Penn, Robert
West, Thomas Rudj'ard, Samuel Gi'oome, Thomas
Hart. Richard Mew, Thomas Wilcox of London
(goldsmith), Ambrose Rigg, John Haywood. Hugh
Hartshorn, Clement Plumsted, and Thomas Cooper,
their heirs and assigns ; who were thence called tJie
tweloe proprietors. They, being together so seized,
in this year published an account of their country, a
fresh project for a town, snd method of disposing of
their lands."
The following are extracts from the above :
Second The conveniency of situation, temperature
of air and fertility of soil is such, that there are no less
than seven considerable towns, viz : Shrewsbury,
Middletown, Bergen, Newark, Elizabethtown, Wood-
bridge and Piscataway ; which are well inhabited by
a sober and industrious people, who have necessary
provisions for themselves and families, and for the
comfortable entertainment of strangers and travellers.
And this colony is ex'perimentall}^ tV)und generally to
agi'ee with English constitutions
s.
* >k
FouKTJi. For lishery, the sea banks thei-e are very
well stored with variety of tish — for not only such as
are profitable for transportation, but such also as are
fit for food there ; as whales, codiish, cole and hake
fish, large mackerel, and also many other sorts of flat
HISTORY OP NEW JERSEY. 23
and small fish. The bay also, and Hudson's river, are
plentifally stored with sturgeon, great bass, and other
scale -fish, eels, and shell -fish, as oysters, etc., in great
plenty, and easy to take. * ^ *
Seventh. The land or soil (as in other i^laces)
varies in goodness and richness ; but generally fertilt-,
and with much smaller labor than in England. It
'produceth plentiful crops of all sorts of English grain,
l)esides Indian corn, w^hich the English planters find
not only to be of vast increase, but very wholesome
and good in its use; it also produceth good flax and
hemp, which they now spin and manufacture into
linen cloth. There is sufficient meadow and marsh to
their uplands ; and the very barrens there, as they
are called, are not like some in England, but produce
grass fit for grazing cattle in summer season.
Eighth. The country is well stored with wild deer,
conies and wild fowl of several sorts — as turkeys,
pigeons, partridges, plover, quails, wild swans, geese,
ducks, etc., in great plenty. It produceth variety of
good and delicious fruits — as grapes, plums, mul-
berries ; and also apricots, peaches, pears, apples,
quinces, watermelons, etc., which are here in England
planted in orchards and gardens. These as also many
other fruits, which come not to perfection in England,
are the more natural product of this country.
NiT^TH. There is also already great store of horses,
cows, hogs, and some sheep, which may be bought nt
reasonable prices, with English moneys or English
commodities or man's labor, where money and goods
are wanting.
"Tenth. What sort of mines or minerals there are
in the earth, aftertime must produce, the inhabitants
not having yet employed themselves in search thereof ;
but there is already a smelting furnace and forge set

up in this colony, where is made good iron, which is
of great benefit to the country."
"Elp:venth. It is exceedingly well furnished with
safe and convenient harbors for shipping, which are
of great advantage to that country ; and affords al-
ready, for exportation, great plenty of horses, and
also beef, pork, pipe-staves, boards, bread, tlour,
wheat, barley, rye, Indian corn, butter and cheese,
which they export for Barbadoes, Jamaica, Nevis,'
and other adjacent islands ; as also to Portugal, Spain,
the Canaries, etc. Their whale-oil and whale fins,
beaver, mink, raccoon and martin skins (which this
country produceth), they transport to Eiigland."
'•Tjiirteejsith. The Indian natives in this country
are but few comparative to the neighboring colonies ;
and those that are there are so far from being forniid
able or injurious to the planters or inhabitants, thnt
they are really servicnable and advantageous to the
English — not only in hunting and taking the deer
and other wild creatures, and catching of fish and
fowl fit for food, in their seasons, but in the killing
and destroying of bears, wolves, foxes, and other
vermin and peltry, whose skins and furs they bring
the English, and sell at less i)ri('e than the value of
time an Englishman must spend to take them. * ^
As for passages to this province ships are going hence
the whole year about, as well in winter as in summer,
Sandy Hook bay being never frozen. The usual
price is five pounds per head, as well masters or
servants, who are ab<)ve ten years of age; all undei-
ten years and not children at the breast, pay fifty
shillings ; sucking children pay nothing. Carriage
of goods is usually fori^y shillings per ton, and some-
times less, as we can agree. The cheapest and chiefest
time of the year for passage is from midsummer till
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 25
the latter end of September, when many Virginia and
Maryland ships are going out of England into those
pa)"ts ; and such who take them their voyage, arrive
usually in good time to plant corn sufficient for next
summer. The goods to be carried there, are, first, for
people' s own use ; all sorts of apparel and household
stuff ; and also utensils for husbandry and building ;
secondly, linen and wool cloths and stuffs, fitting for
apparel etc., which are fit for merchandise and truck
there in the country, and that to good advantage for
the importer — of which farther account will be given
to the inquirer.
Lastly. Although this country, by reason of its
being already considerably inhabited, may afford
many conveniences to strangers, of which unpeopled
■connlries are destitute, as lodging, victualling, etc.,
yet all persons inclining unto thesn parts must know
that, in their settlement there, they will find their
exercises. They must have their winter as well as
summer. They must labor before they reap ; and,
till their plantations be cleared (in summer time), thej^
must expect (as in all those countries) the mosquitoes,
flies, gnats, and such like, may, in hot and fair
weather give them some disturbance where people
provide not against them — which, as land is cleared,
become less troublesome.
The twelve proprietors' plans and purposes were
well received especially by the people of Scotland,
many of whom came across the ocean and took up
their abode in East Jersey.
Each of the twelve proprietors soon took another
partner and made over the particular deeds and they
were afterwards designated as the twenty-four pro-
prietors. On the 14th of March, 1682, the Duke of
York made a new grant of East New Jersey to these
26 HISTORY OP NEW JERSEY.
twenty-four proprietors.
At this time there were supposed to be about
seven hundred families settled in the towns of East
Jersey, which, reckoning five to a family, were three
thousand and five hundred inhabitants ; besides the
out plantations which were thought to contain half
as many more.''
Philip Carteret continued to be the governor of
East New Jersey after the "quinty-partite '' division
till about the year 1681. -'His salary was geneially
£50 a year x)aid in country produce, at prices iix^d by
law; and sometimes four shillings a day besides, to
defray his charges while a sessions was held. The
wages t)f the council and assembly, during their sitting
in legislation, was to each member three shillings a
day. The rates for public charges were levied at two
shillings i^er head for every male above fourteen years
old."
Por the most part the assembly sat at Elizabeth-
town and held its sessions there, occasionally, how-
ever, at Woodbridge, and once or more at Middletown
and Piscataway.
" Some of the first laws as published by the legis-
lature at Elizabethtown, were, in substance : That
persons resisting authority should be punished at the
dii^cretion of the court ; that men from sixteen to
sixty years of age should provide themselves with
arms, on, penalty of one shilling for the first week's
neglect, and two for every week after; that for burg
lary, or highway robbery, the first offence, burning
the hand ; the second, in the forehead — in both to
make restitution ; and for the tliird offence, death.
For stealing, the first offence, treble restitution, and
the like for second and third offence, with such
increase of punishment as the court saw cause, even

them, should be punished with death ; that in case of
adultery, the party to be divorced, corporally punished
or banished, or either or all of them, as the court should
judge proper ; that for night- walking and revelling
after the hour of nine, the j)arties to be secured by the
constable, or other officer, till morning, and then, n(jt
giving a satisfactory account to the magistrate, to be
bound over to the next court, and there receive such
punishment as should be inflicted. That the meeting
of the assembly should be always on the first Tuesday
■ in November, yearly, and of tener if the Governor and
Council thought necessary ; and that they should fix
the Governor's salary — the dei^uties of each town to
be chosen on the first of January, according to the
concessions. Any deputy absenting himself at such
times was to be fined forty shillings for every day's
absence. That thirty pounds should be levied for
provincial charges — i. e., £5 to be paid by each town
in winter wheat, at five shillings a bushel, summer
wheat at four and six pence, peas at three shillings
and six pence, Indian corn at three shillings, rye at
four shillings, barley at four shillings, beef at two-
pence half-penny per pound, and pork at three-pence

days before; then to be solemnized by some approved
minister, justice, or chief officer, who, on penalty of
twenty pounds, and to be put out of office, were to

Robert Barclay, a Scotchman, was one of the new
proprietors of East Jersey. He was the author of the
noted "Apology" in defence of the Friends and
Quakers. He was appointed governor of East Jersey
for life by the unanimous voice of his colleagues, with
dispensation from personal residence and authority to
nominate his deputy. He appointed Thomas Rud-
yard, who arrived about the beginning of 1688. He
was superseded, however, as deputy-governor, at the
close of the year, by Gawen Lawrie, likewise of Lon-
don, the same who had been one of Byllinge's trustees
for West Jersey. Lawrie was succeeded by Lord Niel
Campbell, and he by Alexander Hamilton, Esq.
West Jersey added a great numy settlers to its
population in 1680 and was tolerably populous. In
1681, Samuel Jennings having received a commission
from Byllinge as deputy governor, came to West
Jersey, called an assembly, and with them agreed
upon a constitution and form of government. From
this time on assemblies were lield each yeai' ; courts
were established in several places and "justice was
administered in due course of law." Jenning's suc-
cessors in the executive department were, Thomas
Olive, John Skeine, AVilliam Welsh, Daniel Coxe and
Andrew Hamilton. The last named continued to h(jld
the governorship until* the charter of the proprietors
was surrendered to the Crown.
The Duke of York was in 1685, by the death of
Charles II, raised to the throne as James II, and,.

notwithstaiiding h^^ had thrice conveyed and confirmed
to others all the right>^, poweis and privileges he had
in New Jersey, he lesolved to extend his royal pre-
rogative over it in older to increase his revenues.
The propri^rois weie rot silent under this arbitrarj-
action of the King. In a petition to the King in
council they recited some of the encroachments of
Donga n in relation to tlie seizure of vessels tradiuir
to New Jeisey as calculated to ''overthrow one of
the mo^t hopeful colonies in America." In a remon-
strance subsequently presented to the King they
reminded him that they had not received the province
as a gratuity, but had expended for it twelve thousand
pounds ; that under his own confirmation of their title
and assurance of protection they had sent thither
several hundred people from Scotland, but as yet had
received no retums ; and that notwithstanding these
guarantees their rights had been violated by the
govern(U' of New York' They indicated their willing-
ness to submit to an imposition of the same customs
that were levied in New York, and among other
prayers requested thar a customs officer might be
appointed at Perth Am boy The last request was the
only one granted, as it promised additional revenue
and did not conflict with the designs he then had in
view.
"On the 0th of April, 1686, the assembly met for
the first time at tke new seat of government, Perth
Amboy. Lawrie was succeeded by Lord Neil Camp-
bell in the same year. His council was composed of
Gawen Lawrie, Major John Barry of Bergen, Isaac
Kingsland of New Barbadoes, Capt. Andrew Hamilton
of Amboy, Richard Townly of Elizabethtown, Samuel
Winder of Cheesequake, David Mudieand John John-
son of Amboy, and Thomas Codrington of Raritan.
■so HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
^'Tliis year, 1686, seems to have been a dangerous
one if the hiw against wearing swords was properly
founded. According to tliat several persons had
received abuses and were i)ut in great fear from
quarrels and chalienges : to X)i't?vent it for the future,
none, by word or message, were to make a challenge,
upon pain of six months' imprisonment, without bail
or niainprize and a ten pound tine. Whoever accepted
or concealed the challenge was also to forfeit ten
pounds. No person was to wear any pocket ]>istols,
skeins, still aders, daggers, or dirks, or other unusual
weapons, upon jmin of live pounds forfeiture for the
hrst offence, and for the second to be committed, and
on conviction imprisoned for six months ; and more-
over, to i)ay a fine of ten i;)ounds. No planter was to
go armed with sword, i^istol or dagger, upon penalty
of five pounds. Officers, civil and military, soldiers
in service, and strangers travelling upon lawful occa-
sions were excex)ted."
In 1687 there was a partial failure of crops in
West Jersey, and many of the settlers were put to
great difiicidties. Many families were forced to a(;cept
the charities of the few who were luckily better pro-
vided for. Those who lived near the rivers were
forced to live upon fish for weeks, and some who did
not, lived upgn herbs. A vessel laden with corn going
from New England to Philadelphia jiroved an agree-
able surprise, and i-eadily sold its cargo. Other vessels
speedily followed and the settlers were not at any
time afterward put to such straits for want of food.
"The year 1701 was a memorable era in the his-
tory of New Jersey on account of the disturbances
and confusicms that agitated the minds of the people.
Each province had numy and different proprietors,
who j)romoted separate and intervening schemes and

interests. To promote particular purposes, one party
waiild have the choice and management of the gov-
ernor, while another refused any but of their own
nomination ; and a third objected to proposals from
either Discord prevailed, and everj^ expedient to re-
store order, union and regularity proved unsuccessful.
The disorders in East Jersey made such an impression
on the minds of many of the people, that they readily
hearkened to overtures made for a surrender of the
proprietary government. A considerable part of
West Jersey was also, for similar reasons, disposed
to a resignation. The proprietors, weary of contend-
ing with each other, and with the j)eople, drew up an
instrument, wdiereby they surrendered their right of
government to the crowii, wdiich was accepted by
Queen Anne on the 17th of April,' 1702."
As soon as the transfer of the right of government
from the, proprietors to the Queen had been made,
Queen Anne again united East and West Jersey and
gave its government into the hands of her kinsman,
Edward Hyde, Lord Cornbury, grandson of the Chan-
cellor, Earl of Clarendon. "The commission and in-
structions which Cornbury received formed the con-
stitution and government of the province, until its
declaration of indepnndence. The new government
was composed of the Governor and twelve councilors,
nominated by the Crown, and an assembly of twenty-
four members, to be elected by the people, for an in-
dehnate term, whose sessions were to be held, alter-
nately at Perth Amboy and Burlington. Among the
numerous instructions given to the Governor was one
directing 'to permit liberty of conscience to all per-
sons (except Papists,) so they may be contented with
a quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the same, not
giving offence or scandal to the government;' also

stating that, ' Forasmuch as great inconveniences
may arise by tlie Hhertii of priiitiiuj in our said
province, you to provide by all necessary orders, that
no person keep any press for printing, nor that any
book, pamphlet or other matters whatsoever, be
])rinted without your special leave and license first
obtained/ '"
At this time it is said that there were about
20,U()0 inhabitants belonging to the province— 1,200
of whom belonged to East and 8,000 to West Jersey.
There were about 1,400 militia. The trade of the
X)rovince was considerable. To the West Indies it
sent agricultural produce ; to the English ■market,
furs, skins and tobacco ; to Spain. Portugal and the
Canary Islands, oil, fish and other provisions.
Lord Cornbury came over from England in 1703
and held the office of Governor for five years, when
the loud complaints of the people forced the Queen to
revoke his commission. He w^as heavily in debt and
as soon as he lost his ofhce his creditors i)ounced upon
him and put him in prison in the same province that
lie had governed. There he remained till his father
died. He was by his father's death elevated to the
peerage and entitled to his liberty. Lord Cornbury
was almost universally detested -by his people. His
behavior was trifling, mean and extravagant. He
would dress himself /// ioome?i,s dothinr/ and patrol
the fort in which he lived. Such low freaks exposed
him to ridicule and contempt He kindled the indig-
nation of the people by his despotic rule, savage
bigotry, insatiable avarice, and injustice, not oidy to
his x)rivate creditors, but to the i)ublic as well.
The successor of Cornbury was John, Lord Love-
lace, Baron of Hurley, who summoned the council to
meet him at Bergen, December 20th, 1708. The
"HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 83
.hopes entertained, from his exalted character, of a
peaceful and happy time during his administration,
were not realized. He died on the succeeding 5th of
May. The governorship now devolved u^jon Lieuten-
ant-governor Ingoldsby, wdio laid before the assembly
the design of the Crown respecting an expedition
against Canada. " The assembly prepared three
bills, one for raising £8,000 and another for enforcing
its currency, and a third for the encouragement of
volunteers going on the Canada expedition. These
bills having received the Governors assent, the house
was adjourned to the iirst of November, to meet at
Burlington. They met accordingly, bnt deferred
business till December, when they sat ten weeks,
passed eighteen bills, were then adjourned, and after-
ward x^rorogued, from time to time till dissolved by
(Tovernor Hunter in 1710.
According to ^'^'//iIW s Hid. of N. J. this action
of the Assembly in raising £3,000 "began the paper
currency in New Jeisey. The care of the legislature
respecting it, in this and all the succeeding emissions,
being to render the funds for sinking, according to
the acts that created it, secure, and to prevent the
currency failing in value ; by changing the bills as
they became ragged and torn, and allowing no re-
emissions on any other account whatever. It has
thence, from the beginning, preserved its credit and
proved of great service to the proprietors in the sale

issued on loans, were double the value in lands, or

Governor Hunter administered the affairs of the
province for ten years, from 1710 to 1720, and then
returned to England, having resigned in favor of
William Burnet, the son of the celebrated Bishop.
He loved money and had a ready art of procuring it.
He drifted into gambling schemes and lost consider-
able money. He made a tolerably acceptable officer.
During Governor Burnet's administration the assem-
bly pas-ed some remarkable bills, one of Avliich was
to fix the salary of the Governor for five years at
£'500 per annum, and that authorizing the issue of
£40,000 in bills of credit, with the view, principally,
of increasing the circulating medium of the colony.
"The country had been drained of its metallic currency,
and as the pajier currency of the neighboring colonies
was not a legal tender in the j)i^ynit>iit of debts, much
embarrassment was produced. They sometimes paid
their taxes in broken plates, ear-rings and wheat.

shilling to three pounds, were issued by the govern-

was apportioned to the cotinties in which loan offices
were established ; the bills were made current for

In 1780 another act added £20,000 to this medium and
were made current for sixteen years. All these issues
. (although at one period they were at a discount of
sixteen per cent) were fully and duly redeemed."*

During the year 176:3 a treaty of peace was signed by
Great Britain and France. By its terms Canada was
ceded to the British king, ''and the colonies secured
from the ravages of French and Indian wars, whicij
had continued for more than half a century."
AVhen the English government through their
prime minister, the celebrated Mr. Pitt, called upon
the colonies to do something to subdue the French in
America, ''the Assembly of New Jersey, instead of
raising, reluctantly, five hundred men, doubled that
number, and, to fill the ranks in season, offered a
bounty of twelve pounds p^r man, increas* d the pay
of the officers, and voted $'2o0,00() for their main-
tenance. They at the same session directed barracks
to be built at Burlington. Trenton, New Brunswick.

accommodation of three hundred men. This comple-

and 1762 fui-nished six bundled men, besides in the
latter year a company of sixty- four men and officers,
especially for garrison duty ; for which she incurred
an average expense of j?20(),()(H) per annum."
New Jersey was frijm the first among the foremost
in resisting the ari-ogant demands of British tyranny.
The people, early in July, 1774, met in the differ-
ent counties and ]iassed resolutions stoutly condemn-
ing the acts of parliament. "They nominated deputies
to meet in convention for the purpose of electing
delegates to the general congress about to meet in
PhiladelT)hia."
HISTORY OF :^EW JERSEY. 37
The delegates that were sent from New Jersey
leported the proceedings of this congress to the
ai^senibly January 11, 1775, by whom they were
iimmimously approved.
"The joint action of the colonies- was opposed
by their royal governors, who threw every obstacle
in their power to prevent its accomplishment. Gov.
Franklin refused to summon the assembly, notwith-
standing the x^etitions of the people ; therefc)re the
first delegates to congress were elected by a conven-
tion. The second provincial convention met at Tren-
ton, May 28, 177.5, and directed that one or more
companies of eighty should be formed in each town-
ship or corporation ; and in order to raise necessary
funds, imposed a tax of ten thousand pounds. The
provincial congress of New Jersey reassembled Aug-
ust 5th, 1775, and directed that fifty-four companies,
each of sixty-four minute men, be organized. These
troops were formed into ten battalions ; in Bergen, Es-
sex, Middlesex, Monmouth, Somerset, Morris, Sussex,
Hunterdon and Burlington, one each ; in Grloucester
and Salem, one ; while in the counties of Cumberland
and Cape May were independent light infantry and
rangers. But the chief measure of this congress was
the perpetuation of the authority which they had
assumed ; they therefore resolved and directed, that,
during the continuance of the controversy between
Great Britain and America, the inhabitants qualified
to vote should yearly choose deputies to the provin-
cial congress, who now took upon themselves the
management of the affairs of the colony, relating to
their rights and liberties."
The legislature was convened by Gov. Franklin
the 16th of November, 1775. He made a speech to
the assembly seemingly for the purpose of getting an

of all intentions to pr(jclaini iiidependeiife. He i)ro-
rogued the house on the ()th of De(eni])e)' till January
Bd, 1776, but it nev^er came together again ; and thus
terminated the provincial legislature of New Jersey"
At the time the provincial congress of New Jersey,
(June 10, 1776) convened at Burlington the General
Corif/ress of the United Colonies was in session in
Philadelphia, and on the memorable Fourth of July
declared themselves free and independent States. On
the 18th of July the provincial congress assumed the
tide of the '"State Convention of New Jersey."
Governor Fraid^:lin was powerless during the progress
of these events as the tide of public opinion was too
strong for him to attemj^t to interfere. He made a
proclamation, however, on the 30tli of May summon-
ing the house in the name of the King to meet on the
20th of June. The provincial congress took notice of
this i)roclamation and by a vote of thirty-five to eleven
decided that it ought not tc> be obeyed and further
that Governor Franklin had by this proclamation
shown himself an enemy of the people and their lil)er-
ties and that for their safetj^ his j)erson ought to be
secured. "This was done; and by an order of the
Continental Congress, on the Sfirh of June, the de
posed Governor was sent, under guard, to Governor
Trunibull of Connecticut, who was desired to take his
parole, and in case he refused, to ti'eat him agreeably
to the resolution of Congress respecting prisoners.
This request was immediately cc^n:; lied with. On his
release he sailed for Engltnid \^"l.• m lie received a

hardly a town in the State that lay in the progress of
the British army that was not signalized by some en-
terprise or exploit. At Trenton the enemy received a
check which turned the tide of war. "In the summer
of 1778 bir Henry Clinton retreated with the British
army from Philadelphia through New Jersey to New
York. The battle of Monmouth signalizes this retreat.

her sacrifices of blood and treasure, her good and true

foremost rank among those who fought and struggled
for American freedom.
HISTORY OF THE INDIANS IN NEW JERSEY.
(2 9
^T would be in vain to pretend to give a paiticu-
(1
lar account of all the different tribes or nations
of Indians that inhabited these provinces be-
fore the Europeans came among them, there being a
tribe, probably, in some parts, for every ten or twentj'
miles, which were commonly distinguished by the
names of creeks or other noted places where they
resided ; thus, there were the Assunpink, the Shack-
amaxon, the Rankokas, the Mingo, the Andastaka
and the Neshamine Indians ; and those around Bur-
lington were called the Mantas ; but these and others
were all of them distinguished from the Indians far-
ther back, who were a morn wai'like ])eople, by the
general name of the Delawares. The nations most
noted from home that sometimes inhabited New Jer-
sey, and the tirst settled parts of Pennsylvania, were
the Naraticongs, on the north side of Haritan River,
the Capitinasses, C-facheos, the Manseys, the Pomp-
tons, the Senecas, and the Manguaas ; this last was
the most numerous and powerful. Different nations
were frequently at war with each other, of which
husbandmefi sometimes lind remaining marks in their
fields. A little below the Falls of Delawai'e on the
Jersey side, at Point-no-point in Pennsylvania and
several other places, were banks that had been thrown
up for intrenchments against incui'sions of the neigh
boring Indians, who, in their canoes, used scmietimes
to go in warlike bodies from one province to anotlier. '
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 41
•'It was customary with the Indians of West
Jersey, when rhey buried their dead, to put family
utensils, bow^, and arrows, and sometimes money
(wampum) into the grave with them as tokens of their
affection. When a person of note died far from the
place of his own residence, they would carry his bones
to be buried there ; they washed and perfumed the
dead, painted the face and followed singly. They
left the dead in a sitting posture and covered the grave
like a pyramid. They were very careful in preserv-
ing and repairing the graves of their dead and pen-
sively visited them. They disliked to be asked their
j udgment twice about the same thing. They generally
delighted in mirth ; were very studious in observing
the virtues of roots and herbs, by which they usually
cured themselves of many bodily distempers, both by
outward and inward applications. They frequently
used sweating and the cold bath." "The manner for
a bath was first to inclose the patient in a narrow
cabin, in the midst of which was a red-hot stone; this
frequently wet with water, occasioned a warm vapor ;
the patient sufficiently wet with this and his own
sweat, was hurried to the next creek or river, and
plunged into it ; this was repeated as often as neces-
sary, and sometimes great cures performed. But this
rude method at other times killed the patient, not-
withstanding their hardy natures ; especially in the
small-pox and other European disorders." They had
an aversion to beards and would not suffer them to,
grow, but plucked the hairs out by the roots. The
hair of their heads was black, and generally shone
with bear's fat, particularly that of the women who
tied it behind in a large knot, sometimes in a bag.
They called persons and things by^the name of things
remarkable, or birds, beasts and fish ; as, pea-Jiala, a

served it as a rule, wlieii tlie rattlesnake gave notice
by his rattle before they approached, not to hurt
him ; but if he rattled after tliey had passed they im-
mediately returned and killed him. They were very
loving to one another ; if several of them camt- to a
Christian's house, and the master of it gave one of them
victuals and none to the rest, he w^juld divide it into
equal shares among his companions ; if the Chiistians
visited them they would give them the iirst"cut('f
their victuals ; they would not eat the hollow nf the
thigh of anything they killed. Their chief employ-
ment was hunting, fishing, fowling, making canoes,
bowls and other w^ooden and earthen ware ; in all
which they were, considering the means, ingenious.
They boiled their water in tlieir earthen bowl^. Their
women's business chieliy consisted in planting Indian
corn, J arching or roasting it, jiounding it to meal in
mortars, or breaking it between stones, making biead
and dressing victuals ; in which they were sometimes
observed to be very neat and cleanly and sometimes
otherwise. They also made mats, rox^es, hats and
baskets (some-very curious) of wdld hemp and roots,
or splits of trees. Tlieir young women were originally
very nujdest and shame-faced, and at marriageable
ages distinguished themselves with a kind of woi-ked
mats, or red or blue baga, interspersed with snuill
rows of white and })lack wampum, or half rows of
each in (me, fastened to it, and then put lound the
liead, down to near the middle of the forehead. Both
young and old women would be highly offended at
indecent expressions unless corrupted with drink.
They would not allow the name cf a friend after his
death, to V*^ mentioned. They sometimes streaked

I heir affairs went Avell they painted red. They were
great obser\ier.s of the weather by the moon ; delighted
, in tine clotlies ; were punctual in their bargains, and
observed this so much in others that it was very diffi-
cult for a person who had once failed therein to get
any dealings with them afterwai'd. In their councils
they Seldom or never interrupted or contradicted one
another till two of them had made an end of their
discourse ; for if ever so many were in company only
two must speak to each other ; and the rest be silent
till their turn came. Their language was high, lofty
and sententious. Their way of counting was by tens,
that is to say, two tens, three tens, four tens, etc.;
when the number got out of their reach they pointed
to the stars or the hair of their heads. They lived
chieliy on maize, or Indian corn, roasted in the ashes,
sometimes beaten and boiled with Avater ; they also
made an agreeable cake of their pounded corn, and
raised beans and peas. But the woods and rivers
chiefly supplied them with food. They pointed their
arrows with a sharpened, flinty stone. They had a
larger sort with withes for handles with which they
cut their wood. Both of these sharpened stones are
frequently found in the fields. They ate on the ground
morning and evening. They were naturallj^ reserved,
apt to resent and conceal their resentments and retain
them long, but w^ere liberal and generous to the Eng-
lish. They were observed to be uneasy and impatient
in sickness for a present remedy, to which they com-
monly drank a decoction of roots in spring water,
forbearing tiesh, which if they ate at all, must be of
the feminine gender. They took remarkable care of
their sick while hoj^e of life remained ; but when that
Avas gone some of them were apt to neglect the patient.
44 HISTORY OF ^'EW JERSEY.
Their goverument was monarchial and successive and
mostly of the mothers side to prevent a spurious
issue. They commonly washed their children in cold
water as soon as born ; and to make their limbs
straight tied the child to a board and hung it to their
backs when they travelled. The children usually
walked at nine months old. Their young men mar-
ried at sixteen or seventeen years of age. if l)y that
time they had given sufficient proof of their manlK'od
by a large return of skins. The girls married at thir-
teen or fourteen, but stayed with their mothers to
hoe the ground, bear burdens, etc.. for some years
after marriage. The women in travelling usually car-
ried the luggage. Tlie marriage ceremony was some-
times thus : the relations and friends being present,
the bridegroom delivered a bone to the bride. ?he an
ear of Indian corn to him ; meaning that he was to
provide meat, she bread. It was not unusual to
change their mates upon disagreement ; the children
going to the one that loved them best. The expense
was of no moment to either. In case of disagreement
about the children the man was allowed the lirst choice
if the children were divided, or if there was but one.
Very little can be said as to their religion. Much,
pains were taken by the early Christian settlers to
inform them respecting the use and benefits of the
Christian revelation and to fix restraints, but general-
ly with unpromising success, though instances have
now and then happened to the contrary. They are-
thought to have believed in a God and immortality
and seemed to aim at public worship. When they
did this, they sometimes sat in several circles, one
within another. Their worship consisted of singing,
dancing, jumping and shouting, but performed as

them dwelt in a glorious country to the southward,
and that the spirits of the best should go there and

they had collected : but in this sacrifice broke no

and some of them are said to have been slavishly dark

did justice upon one another for crimes among them-
selves, in a way of their owti. Even murder might be

ful of their aged and decrepit, endeavoring to make -
the last of life as comfortable as they could. It was
pretty generally so except in cases of desperate decays;
then indeed they were apt as in other cases of the like
kind to neglect them. They were keen and strict
observers of property, yet to the last degi'ee thought-
less and inactive in acquiring and keeping it. ]S'one

knife, gun or any such thing given to one, frequently
passed through many hands. Thei;- iLouses or wig-
wams were sometimes together in towns, but mostly
movable, and occasionally tixed near a spring or other
water, according to the conveniences for hunting,
fishing, basket-making or other business of that sort,
and built with x>ol^s laid on forked sticks in the
ground, with bark, Hags or bushes on the top and
sides with an opening to the south, their fire in the
middle ; at night they slei)t on the ground with their
feet towards it ; their clothing was a coarse blanket
or skin thrown over the shoulder, which covered to
the knee, and a piece of the same tied round the legs,
with part of a deerskin sewed round their feet for
shoes. As they had leai-ned to live upon little, they
seldom exi)ected or wanted to lay up much. They
were also moderate in asking a price for anything
they had for sale. When a com2)any travelled together
they geneially followed each other in silence. Scarce-
ly ever were two seen by the side of one another. In
the road the man went iirst with his bow and arrow,
the woman after, not unfrequently with a child on
her back and other burdens besides ; but when these
were too heavy the man assisted. To know their
walks again, in unfrequented woods they heaped
stones or marked trees.
In person they were upright, and straight in their
limbs, beyond the usual proportion in nu)st nations.
Their bodies were strong, but of a strength rather
fitted to endure hardships than to sustain much bodily
labor ; very seldom crooked or defoiiued. Their fea-
tures were regular ; their (.'ountenanc;es sometimes
fierce and more resembling a Jew than Christian ;
the color of their skin a tawny reddish -brown and the
whole fashion of their lives of a piece, hardy, poor

and squalid. When they began to drink they gener-
ally continued it as long as they could tind anything
with which to purchase more. When drunk they
often lay exposed to th^^ inclemencies of the weather,
which introduced a train of new disorders among
them. They were grave, even to sadness upon any
common, and more so upon any serious occasions ;
observant of those in company and respectful to the
old ; of a temper cool and deliberate ; never in haste
to speak but waited for a certainty that those who
spoke before them had linished all he had to say.
They seemed to hold European vivacity in contempt,
because they found such as came among them apt to
interrupt each other and frequently speak all to-
gether. Their behavior in public councils was strictly
decent and instructive ; every one in his turn was
heard, according to rank of years or wisdom, or ser-
vices to his country. Not a word or vv^hisper or mur-
mur while any one was sj^eaking ; no interruption to
commend or condemn ; the younger sort were totally
silent. They obtained tire by rubbing wood of par-
ticular sorts (as the ancients did out of the ivy and
bays), by turning the end of a hard piece upon the
side of one that was soft and dry ; to forward the heat
they put dry, rotten wood and leaves ; and with the
helj) of tire and their stone axes, they would fell large
trees and afterward scoop them into bowls, canoes,
etc. From their infancy they w^ere educated to en-
dure hardshii:)S, to bear derision and even blows
patiently ; at least with a composed countenance.
Though they were not easily provoked, it was hard to
appease them when it did happen. Liberty in its
fullest extent w^as their ruling passion ; to this every
other consideration was subservient. Their children
were trained up to cherish this disposition to the ut-

most ; tliey were indulged to a great degree, seldom
chastised with blows, and rarely chided ; their faults
were left for their reason and the habits of the family
to correct. They said these could not be great before
their reason commenced. They seemed to abhor a
shivish motive to action as inconsistent with their no-
tions of freedom and independency. Even strong
persuasion was industriously avoided as bordering too
much on dependence, and a kind of violence offered
to the will. They dreaded slavery more than death.
They laid no hues for crime, for they had no way of
exacting them : the atonement was voluntary. Every
tribe had j)articulars in whom they reposed confidence,
and unless they did something unworthy of it, they
were held in respect. What were denominated kings,
were sachems distinguished among the above. The
resi)ect paid them was voluntary and not exacted or
looked for, or the omission regarded. The sachems
directed in their councils and had the chief disposition
of lands. To help their memories in treaties they had
belts of white and black wampum ; with these closed
their periods in speeches, delivering more or less ac-
cording to the importance of the matter treated of.
This ceremony omitted all that they said passed for
nothing. They treasured these belts when delivered
to them in treaties, kept them as the records of the
nation, to have recourse to ui)on future contests.
Governed by customs and not by laws they greatly
revered their ancestors, and followed them so implic-
itly that a new thought or action seldom intruded.
They long remembered kindnesses ; families that en-
deav(jred to deal with them fairly and treat them hos-
pitably even if no great kindness were received were
sure of their trade. It must be allowed that the un-
corruj^ted heart seldom fails to be grateful foi- real

favors received. And notwithstanding the strains of
l)ertidy and cruelty wliich in 1754 and since have dis-
graced tlie Indians on the frontier of these provinces,
even these, by an uninterrupted intercourse of seventy
years, had, on many occasions, given unimpeachable
proofs of liberality of sentiment, hospitality of action,
and impressions that seemed to promise a continuance
of better things. But of them enough at present."
"Among a people so immediately necessary to
eaeh other, where property was little thought of, and
the anxiety of increasing it less, the intercourse natur-
ally became free and unfettered with ceremony.
Hence every one had his eye on his neighbor Mud mis-
understandings and mistakes were easily rectified.
No ideas of state or grandeur ; no homage of birth,
rank or learning; no pride of house, habit or furniture ;
very little emulations of any kind to interrupt ; and
so mudi together they must be friends, as far at least
as that term could be properly applied to them : this
was general in some of the tribes. Attachments of
particular ones to each other were constant and
steady in some instances far exceeding what might be
expected. Companies of them frequently got togeth-
er to feast, dance and make merry. This sweetened
the toil of hunting. They scarcely knew, however,
what it was to toil, for hunting and dancing com-
prised it all. A life of dissipation and ease, of uncer-
tainty and want, of appetite, satiety indolence and
sleep, seemed to be the sum of their character and the
chief thing that they aimed at.
" Notwithstanding the government was successive,
it was, for extraordinary reasons, sometimes ordered
otherwise. Of this there is an instance in the old
king Ockanickon, who dying about this time at Bur-
lington, declarer! himself to this effect :

"After the Indian had delivered this council to
his nephew, T. Budd, one of tlie i^roprietors, being
I)resent, took the opportunity to remark that ' there
was a great God who created all things ; and that he
gave man» an understanding of what was good and
bad ; and after this like rewarded the good with
blessings, and the bad according to their doings.'
"He answered:
" ' It is very true, it is so ; there are two ways, a broad
and a straight way; there are two paths, a broad and a straight
path ; the worst and the greatest number go in' the broad, the
best aud fewest in the straight path.' "
This king dying soon afterward, was attended to
his grave in the Quaker's burial-jDlace in Burlington,
with solemnity, by the Indians in their manner, and
with great resi)ect by many of the English settlers, to
w^hom he had been a sure friend. The foregoing his-
tory of the Indians is as given in ^'^diHJi^s History of
New Jersey.
The following interesting matter in regard to the
Indians is taken from New Jersey Historical Collections
and was published in the Neioark JSentinel, entitled
"Glimpses of the Fast in NewMersey'':
"During the dominion of the Dutch, hostile rela-
tions existed on two or three occasions. De Vries
tells us (New York Historical Collections) that, in
1680, thirty- two men were killed by the Indians on
the Delaware ; and he gives a detailed account of
difficulties with those of East Jersey in 1640 and 1643.
In the former year an expedition fitted out against
those on the Raritan, accused, although wrongfully,
of having committed thefts and other trespasses,
caused some of the leading chiefs to be maltreated,
52 HISTORY OF ^^EAV JERSEY.
and led to retaliatory measures iij)on the settlers of
Staten Island, who were killed and their plantations
broken up,
"This matter, in connection with the refusal of
the Indians to give up the author of a murder subse-
quently committed, brought on hostilities. The
Dutch authorities were guilty of great duplicit}', in
beguiling the natives into the belief that no evil was
brewing against them ; for they directed that ' the
kind intercourse and the trade in corn should be con-
tinued with them as before, till God's will and prop
er opportunity is offered.' This opportunity came
early in 1648. The Indians in the vicinity of Fort
Orange (Albany) having commenced a war with their
more southern brethren. Gov. Kieft joined with them
and, on tlie night of the 2r)-20tli of January a detach-
ment of troops was sent over to Pavonia, and eighty
Indians were murdered in their sleep, or in attempt-
ing to escajie. 'This was the feat,' says De Yries, al-
luding to a remaik of the Governor in relation to it,
'worthy of the heroes of old Rome, to massacre a par
eel of Indians, and to butcher them in the i^resence of
their parents, and throw their mangled limbs into the
tire or water. Other sucklings had been fastened to
little boards, and in this position they were cut to
j)ieces. Some were thrown into the river, and when
the parents rushed in to save them, the soldiers pre-
vented theii- landing, and let the parents and chil-
dren drown.' As the orders given to the officer com-
manding the expedition, as they appear on the
record, wei-e 'to spare as much as it is possible their
wives and children, and to take the savages prisoners,'
we might attribute this cruelty entirely to the excited
passions of the men; but the same author tells us
they were rewarded, and that 'the same niglit forty

In'lians ni(»re were murdeied at Corlaer's plantation."
Such a warfare conld not fail to exasperate the
natives ; and we are told that, as soon as they became
aware that these massacres were by the whites (for
from the secrecy observed and the darkness of the
night, they thought they had been attacked by their
enemies, the Maqnas), they murdered in the country
a^l the men they could hnd ; but more human than
the whites, spared the females and children. Houses
and barns, grain and hay, were destroyed, and war
waged for a month or more. In March, a peace was
concluded which lasted only till Octol)er ; when three
or four soldiers, stationed at Pavonia foj' the protec-
tion of a family, having been attacked, war was re-
newed ; and so serious was its characiter, that in March,
1644, the authorities of New Amsterdam, proclaimed
a solemn fast, to deprecate the anger of Jeliovah.
Peace was permanently restored the following-
year ; and as, in their distress, they had fasted, so
now the good burghers rejoiced, and kept a day of
public thanksgiving and praise. We hear of no fur-
ther disturbances from this time; and in 1664 the
English came into possession of the country. Of
course, the unsettled state of the intercourse with the
Indians had interfered most materially with the settle-
ment of this portion of New Netherlands.
.There are no data by which a true estimate can
be formed of the number of Indians within what are
now the limits of New Jersey, when iirst population
began to change the character and aspect of the coun-
try ; but probably there were more than two thousand
when the x^rovince was taken under the dominion of
the English. An old pamphlet in the Philadelphia
Library, printed in 1648, to induce emigration under
the grant to Sir Edward Ployden, states that the na-

and happiness of the settlers, by the establishment of
the best regulations foi- intercourse with the natives.
They say to their governor and councilors should they
* happen to find any nativt^s in our said province, and
tract of land aforesaid, that then you treat them vv'ith
all humanity and kindness, and not in any way grieve
or oppress them, but endeavor by a Christian caiTiage
to manifest piety, justice and charity ; and in your
conversation with them ; the manifestation whereof
will prove beneficial to the planters, and likewise
advantageous to the propagation of the gospel (East
Jersey Records).' And in order that they might be
protected from the arts of designing men, their lands
were not allowed to be i^urchased excepting through
the Governor and council, in the name of the lords
proprietors
'Tt was to bex^'esumed, however, that intercourse
-with such varied characters as ever constitute the iirst
population of a new country, would present many
causes for outbreaks and disputes.^ The assembly,
therefore, early took measures to guard against such
difhciilriesby prohibiting all trade with them ; nnd in
1675, whfU some apprehensions were f-ntertained the
sale t<j ihem of aniniunition was prevented, as well as
the repairing of their firearms ; and the continuance
of peace was, in subsequent years, still further secured,
by prohibiting the sale, gift, or loan to them of any
intoxicating drink. These wholesome restrictions,
modified as. occasion required, continued in force
under the government of the twenty-four proprietors,
and that of the crown which succeeded. Mrs. Mary
Smith in a manuscript account of the first settlement
of Burlington, quoted in Watson's Annals, says, 'the
Indians were very civil, bronght them corn, venison,.

and bar<>aiiied also for Tlieir land.' It was said tliat
an old Indian king si^oke prophetically, before his
death, of the increase of rlie whites, and the diminu-
tion of his race. Such predictions were current among
them as earlv as 1680. At the time Perth Ambov was
settled (1(»84). there appears to have been only a few
natives in that vicinity •. and those wdio visited the
place are represented as very serviceable to the settlers,
from the game they caught, and the skins and furs
they procured and sold to them.'"
The lirst serious outbreak occuired in ll^C), but,
so soon a.'^ a hostile feeling became ap|)arent, the leg-
islature apjiointed commissioners to examine into the
causes of dissatisfaction. A conventiiiii was held at
Crosswicks, for the ]»ur[)Ose, i]i January. ITofJ ; and
in March, 1757, a bill was passed calculated to I'einove
the difficulties which had grown out of inqiositions
upon the Indians when intoxicated, the destruction of
deer by traps, and the occupation of lands by the
whites which they had not sold.— (Neville's Laws, Vol,
II, p. 12r».) I)u)-ing this year, however, and the first
part of 1758, the w^estern bordei-s of the province were
in much alarm fnmi the hostile feeling prevalent
among the Minisink and neighboring tribes — from
May, 1757, to ,lune. 175^. twenty-seven murders hav-
ing been committed by them on the West Jersey side
of the Delaware. A fonstant guard was kept under

In -June, 1758, Gov. liernai'd of New Jersey con-

protection being tissnred tliem. It shows no little
regard for truth, and the prevalence of a humane and
forgiving spirit, on the part of the whites, as well
as conti(ience on the part of the Indians, that tlie one
party should venture, after what had passed, tu place
themselves so cumpletely in the hands of their ene-
mies, and the other to profit not thereby.
••The conference took place at Burlington, Aug-
ust 7th, 17t")8: On the part of the province, there
were present the Gfovernor, three commissioners of
Indian affairs of the house of assembly, and six mem
bers of the council. Two Minisink or Manse v Indians,
one Cayugan, one Delaware messenger from the Min-
goians, and one Delaware who came with the Mini-
sinks, were the delegates from the natives. The con-
ference opened with.,a si)eech from the governor. He
sat holding four strings of wampum and thus ad-
dressed them : "Brethren, as vou are come from a ions:
journey, through a wood full of briars, with this
stiing I annoint your feet, and take away their sore-
ness ; with this string I wipe the sweat from your
bodies ; with this strinu' I cleanse your eves, ears and
mouth that you may see, hear and speak clearly- ; and
I particularly annoint your throat, that every word
you say may have a free i)assage from the heart.
And with rliis string I bid \ on heartih- welcome.'
The four strings were then delivered to them. The
]-esult of the conference was, that a time was fixed f.^r
-holding another at Easton, at the request of the In-
dians ; that being, as they termed it, the palace of the
'old council fire.'

pancy, 3044 acres, in the townsliip of Eveshani, Bur-
lington county, were x>urciiased for them. A hoiiye
ot worship and several dwellings were subsequently
erected, forming the town ot Brothei-ton ; and as the
Selling and lt:-asing of any portion of the tract was
prohi))ited, as was also rlie settlement upon it uf any
persons other than Indians, the grt-ate.st hainiony
appears ro haw prevailed between irs inhabitants and
their white neighbors (Allison's Laws, p 221).
"On the 8th "of October, 17r)8. the conference
commenced at Easton. It was attended by the Lieu-
tenant-governor of Pennsylvania, six of his council,
and an equal number of the house of lepresentatives :
Gov, Bernard of New Jersey, five Indian commission-
ers, George Croghan, Esq. (deputy Indian agent
under Sir William Johnson), a number of magistrates
and freeholders of the two provinces, and live hun-
dred and seven Indians-, comprising delegations from
fourteen different tribes. (xovernor Dennv, being
obliged to return to Philadelphia, the business of the
conference was mainly conducted by Gov. Bernard,
who in its numagement evinced no small degjee of
talent and tact. It was closed on the 2r)tli of 0( tober;
and the result- was the lelease. by rhe Minisink and
Woj^ping Indians, of all lands claimed l)y rheni with-
in the limits of New Jersey for ihe sum ofi:10()0.
Deeds were also obtained from the Delawares and
other Indians, and they were all desired to remember
.'that by these two agreements the province of New
Jersey is entirely freed and discharged from all In-
dian <-]aims.' At least such was the opihion of Gov.
Bernard and the Indians ; but the assembly, the en
suing March, in answer io the Governor's speech,
mention a snuill claim of the Totamies, and some pri-
vate claims, still outstanding. The minutes of this

iateresting conference are printed at length in StnitlCs
Histoni. Tiie (xovernor recommended to the succeed-
ing assembly the continuance of a guard, and the es-
tablishment of a regular trading house; but neither
measure was adopted. The amicable relations thus
hap[)ily begun, I'emained undisturbed for several
years. In 1764, a frontier guard of two hundred men
was again ke[>t up for some time, in ccmsequence of
disturbances in Pennsylvania ; bur the alarm soon
subsided.
•'In 1769, Gov. Franklinattended a convention lield
with the six nations, by several of the colonial gov-
ernors, and informed the assembly, on his return, that
rhe}' had publicly acknowledged repeated instances
uf the justice of the New Jersey authorities in bring
ing the murderers of Indians to condign punishment ;
declared that they had no claim or demand whatsoever
on the province ; and in the most solemn manner con-
ferred on its government the distinguished title of,
Safinriglrwii/of/Hha or the great arbiter, or doer of
justice— a name which, the governor truly remarked^
reflected high honor upon the province.
''In 1^02, the small remnant of these original
possessors of the soil, remaining in Burlington county,
obtained permission to sell their lands and remove to
a settlement on the Oneida Lalve. in the state of New
York, where they continued till 18-^4 ; when, with
other Indians, they purchased from the Menominees
a tract bordering on Lake Michigan, and removed
thither. In 1832, the New Jersey tribe, reduced to
less than forty souls, applied to the legislature of the
State for remuneration on account of their rights of
hunting and fishing on enclos'^d lands, which they
had reserved in tlieir various agreements and conven-
tions with the whites. Although no legal ciuim could

be substantiated, yet the legislature iu kindness and"
through compassion for the vvandeiejs, directed the
treasurer to pay tli^ir agent two thousand dollars,,
upon tiling in the office of the secretary a full relin-
quishment of all the rights of his tribe (Gordon's NeAv
Jersey), Thus was extinguished every legal and
equitable claim of the Indians to the soil of New-
Jersey — a fact which must gratify eveiy citizen of.

attributable in part to the removal of restrictions on

made to estahlisli an excise; but the iollowing year
it was repealed, and the licensing of retailers coiitided

*'The observance of the Lord's day was required
by abstaining from all servile work, unlawful recre-
ations, and unnecessary travelling. Any disorderly
conduct could be punished by confinement in the
stocks, tines, imprisonment or \vhii»}»ing. In 1704,
under the administration uf Lord Cornburv, man^- of
the early i)rohibitions were re-enacted ; l)ut by that
time, it would seem that the use of ardent spirits be-
gan to l^e considered necessary and essential for man's
happiness, as keepers of public houses were not to
'allow tii)pling on the Lord's day, exa^tfor necessary
refreshinent.' ^^
'" 'All iirizes, stage plays, games, mascpies, revels,
bull-baitings, and cock lightings, which excite the peo-
ple to rudeness, cruelty, looseness and irreligion' were
to be discouraged and punished l)y c;ourts of justice,
according to the nature of the offence. Night-walkers
or revellers, after nine o'chtck were to be secured by
the constable till morning ; and, unless excused on
examination, \u be bound over to court.
"Swearing or 'taking (rod's name in vain,' was
nuide punishal)le by a shilling line for each offence, as
early as 16H8, and such continued to be the law until

KW Jersey, one of the origiual thirteen States, issitu-
uated between tlie Debiware Hiver and Bay and the
• Hudson liiver and Athmtic Ocean. Its extreme
leiiyth is 1G7 miles, i^Te.itest breadth 5i» miles, least 32 miles,
giving an area ot Tblo square miiej^. It lies between latitude
vJ8 degrees, 5(5 minutes, and 41 degrees, 21 minutes, north, and
longitude 78 degrees, ~A minutes, and 75 degrees, 38 min-
utes, west. It has a coast front of 120 miles, not counting
the coasts of Karitan and Delaware Bays. Its harborage
emln-aces New York Bay, besides Newark and Earitan Bays.
There are several estuaries which pierce the State fi'om
Little Egg Harbor, Barnegat, Manasquan. affording means
of transportation by vessels. Besides these the whole sur-
face of the State is drained by numerous rivers and small
streams, em|)tying into the Atlantic from its eastern water-
shed or trom its western slope into the Delaware, which
i'.»rius the western boundary. Immense saline marshes stretch
<ilong the banks of Delaware Bav and adjoin many of the
interior streams ; nearly all of them, however, are utiltzed as
meadow.-. Some of the hnv lands along the coast have been
redeemed from the sea by levies thrown up to kecj) back
the tides, with trap sluices for drainage in low tide.
The north-western portions of the State are diveriiticd
by precipitous ni;;u;itain ranges rising to the height of fiuiu

tradition says (^reneral "Washington (whose encampment laid
in the valley close by) often stood with his telescope to get
a gliiiipse of the movements of the British when they held
New York.
Iron ore is found in !t\issex, Passaic, Moriis and War-
ren counties. Rich beds of zinc ore are found in Sussex
county. Various kinds of sandstone, among which is the
famous red variety, juagnesian limestone, blue-tinted and
other kinds of stone are quarried in large quantities for
building purposes. Slate, for rooting and school purposes
are extensively- quarried on the eastern slope of the Blue-
range. Fire clay and l^otsdam clay are extensively dug
in the vicinity of Woodbridge, Amboy and Trenton. Sand,
for glass manufacture, is procured in lai-ge quantities, near
Millville, Winslow and Jackson.
The soil has been greatly improved by the best system
of agriculture known, the incentive to Avhich is found in the
large demand for fruits, berries and vegetables from the
adjacent cities of NeAV York and Philadelphia. To supply
this demand the central portions of the State, esiDecially
those nearest to these cities have been converted into imjuense
gardens, from which these products are speedily sent to mar-
ket during their season.
New Jersey is among the foremost in manufacturers^,
especially those of iron and glass. The largest of these are
at Jersey City, where steam is the power used, but these
factories are distributed throughout the State where Avater
power is found.
The Morris Canal extends from Jersey City to Piiil]y)s-
burg, a dtstance of 101 miles, and lias a large carrying trade in
coal and heavy mercliandise. The Delaware and Raritan
Canal connects Trenton on the Delaware, with Brunswick
on the Earitan, and has a feeder 22 miles long from Bull's
Island. It lias about 2,000 miles of railroad, the most im-
portant of wliich are those which connect New York and
HISTORY OF ^EW JERSEY. 67
Philadelphia, and the New York aud Erie and its feeders.
Tlio proximity of the State to two citie.> of such magnitude
at* Now York and Philadelphia, prevents the centralization of
trudc to uny portion ot iiei own territory sufficiently to produce
metropolitan cities, lint it is oniy a fair liypothesis that the State
receives from the cities of" lier adjacent States a larger tribute in
su])plyino- their wants, than slic pays to them in purchasing their
wares.
In sumuier resorts the State is especially favored. Long
Branch and Ocean Grrove are crowded with visitors from the great
cities. Cape May, Atlantic City, Seabright, etc., also present
great attracticms to the seekers of pleasure and comfort, and
throughout trie whole State at farms and villages are scattered,
during the hot months, thousands who tiee from the cities.
The public schools of New Jersey are excellent, about 210,-
000 pupils being enrolled and 3,300 teachers.
The State- Nurical School at Trenton is i>f great excellence,

sthi^ols of tiie State are justly celebrated, and number 4 colleges,
4 collegiate schools for women, 3 scientific schools (one being
the State Agricultural and Scientific College connected with

r^ N act was i)assed by the Geiierai Assembly in
CM. 1709 erecting and bounding the old counties
""^^ ^-^ of New Jersey. PreVions to this, how-
ever, eight had been formed. In 1675, Salem,
Monmouth and Essex were formed ; in 1677. Cxlonces-
ter ; in 1682, Middlesex ; in 1688, Somerset ; in 1692,
Cape May, and in 1694, Burlington. In 1702 upon
the x)roprietors surrendering their charter to Queen
Anne, Eagt and West Jersey were united linder one
government and the royal authority extended over
them. The iirst four assemblies, held at Bergen and
Burlington, did nothing toward detifting the civil di-
visions of the provincf^.
The tifth assembly held at Burlington in 1709,
passed an act dividing thf' boundaries of al] the coun-
ties in the province as follows : *' In the Eastern divis-
ion, the county of Bergen should begin at Constable's
Hook, and so run up along the bay and Hudson River

by the General Assembly March lUh, 1714, erecting
the county of Hunterdon, to wit :
"That all and singular of the lands and ui)X>er

wbicli Morris county was taken from Hunterdon.

Sussex remained in that way till it was reduced
to its present dimensions by the detachment of War-
ren County in 1824.
EaKLV SETTLEMEJNrTS. •
The hrst settlement in Sussex County, which then
included Warren. Avas i)ait of a general movement to-
wards the west made from the Dutch settlements on
the Hudson, and was located in the upjtei' valley of
the Dehiware. " The settlers were of the same Hu-
guenot and Holland stock — the former born in France,
from which they had been driven by persecution but
a few years l>efore, while the latter, if not themselves
natives of Holland, were the immediate descendents
of thosf born in ihat ('ountry, which then offered an
asylum for the persecuted and oppressed of all na-
tions, and whose struggles in behalf of civil and j-elig-
ious liberty were so memorable."
" The first settlers came here directly from Ulster

population which thus met aud mingled in the undent
valley of the Minisink and s2->read along the border of
these counties from the Neversink to the Masconet-
cong were of divers nationalities, yet all uniting in
one com iron diaracteristic, — a, native love of liberty
and a desire to tind freedom from the civil ilnd eccle-
siastical restraints which had burdened and hampered
them in the Old World. Those coming in from the
north wei'e Huguenots and Hollanders ; those from
the south were Welsh, Quakers, Germans and Scotch-
Irislj, with a considerable intermixture of the Puritan
of New England, all noted for their struggles for civil
and religious liberty in the several Eurox)ean countries
from whence they came. These formed the basis of
the early population not merely of Sussex and War-
ren counties, but of the upper Delaware valley gen-
erally, including the river settlements in the three
States of New Jersey, New Y^ork and Pennsylvania.''
The precise time when the Minisink valley was
settJed by the Dutch and Huguenots is not clearly
established. The "Old Mine Road" which it is
thought was made and used as early as 1650 by a
conjpany of miners from Holland, was abandoned as
a mining-road upon the accession of the English rule
in lf;64.
''The main body of these men are believed to
have returned to their native land, yet a few undoubt-
edly remained and settled in the vicinity of their
abandoned mines. Here then we have the point at
which ihe tirst settlement in the County was made.
Here log ca})ins were built and orchards planted, when
the sit^ of Philadelj)hia was a wilderness. The Swede*
in W^est JerBey, and the Dutch and Norwegian set-
tlers in Bergen, antedate the pioneers of Pahaquarry
but a few years."
HISTOaY OP WARRKN COUNTY. 75
Settlements in Otiieh Parts of Sussex and
Wakken Counties.*
"Our purpose is to give under this head a brief
summary of the first settlements in Sussex and War-
ren counties outside of tlie Minisink valley.
While the latter portion of our territory was be-
ing peopled as we have • described, immigrants were
coming in to the southward from quite a different di-
rection. Lands were patented and settled near
Phillipsburg by Messrs. Lane and Morrill, from Ire-
land, about the beginning of the eighteenth century.
In 17B.5 three brothers named Green settled in that
part of old Greenwich now known as Oxford town-
ship. They were soon followed by the McKees, Mc-
Murtrys, McCrackens. Axfords, Robesons, Shippins,
Andersons. Kennedys, Stewarts, Loders, Hulls. Scotts,
Brands. Bowlbys. Swayzes. Shackletons, and Arm-
strongs, all of whom were Scotch- Ii-ish Presbyterians,
with the exception of Robeson, the Greens, and pos-
sibly one or two others. Here as a consequence of
this unanimity of religious faith and nationality, the
tirst Presbyterian church in the two counties was
erected in 1744, following the old Dutch Reformed
churches of the Minisink within a very few years of
their date. It may be mentioned that the first pastor
of the Presbyterian church of Greenwich was Rev.
James Campbell, and that he was followed by David
Brainerd, the celebrated missionary to the Indians,
who'-e labors called him frequently into the vicinity.
He lived for sonie time at the '' Iri'^h Settlement"' in
Pennsylvania, now known as Lower Mount Bethel,
about five miles from Belvidere, where the site .of his
ancient cabin is still pointed out to the curious trav-
*Hi>t.>iy of Sussex aiid Warren, 1880, p. 30.
76 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
eller. Tn speaking of Rev. Braiiierd it may be well'
to notice a singiilar mistake made by Rev. Peter
Kanoiise in his •* Historical Sf^rmcn." He speaks of
the Nev»^rsink emi)tying into the Delaware and con-
stituting what in Hi-. Brain^^rd's time was called "The
Forks of the Delaware" and where was th»^ field of
his labors in an Indian settlement named Shakhawo-
tung, now known as ''Carpenter's Point." It is
well known that "Tlip Forks of the Delaware" where
Brainerd had his chief mission, was at Easton, the
forks being formed by the Delaware and Lehigh,
which form a conlinence at that point. "Shakhawo-
tnng." the name of the Indian town, signifies "where
a smaller stream empties into a larger one, or the out-
let," shal-vmli being the general Delaware word for
"the month of a river."
"The first fni'nace for the manufacture of iron in
Sussex county was erected by Jonathan Robeson, in
the then townshiji of Grreenwich. It was commenced
in 1741, but iron was not run till March 9, 1743. He
callf'd this Oxford Furnace in compliment to Andrew
Rol)eson, his father, who had been sent to England
and educated at Oxford University. Prom this fur-
nace the town of Oxford — which was formed twenty
years aft«:'rward — took its name. Jonathan Robeson
was OUH of the first judges of Sussex county. His
fatli^r and grandfather both wore the ermine before
liini in P^^nnsylvania, while his son, grandson and
great-grandson, each in his turn occupied seats on the
judicial bench. \Vm. P. Robeson of Warren county
was the sixth judge in regular descent from his an-
cestor, Andrew Robeson, who came to America with
William IVnn and was a member of Governor Mark-
ham's I'rivy Council. In this country, where the

of honor, and wheie ability and honesty are — or
ought to be — the only passports to public distinction,
this remarkable succession of officers in one family
affords a rare example of hereditary merit, and is. so
far as we know, without a parallel in our judicial
annals."
Another of the first settlements in Sussex and
Warren was made by meiribers of the Society of
Friends in that part of ancient Hardwick called "the
Quaker Settlement." The pioneers in this locality
came from Maiden Creek (now Attleborough. Pa.)
and from Crosswicks, N. J., from 1735 to 1740. They
were the Wilsons, Lundy's and others and must be
set down as among the very first settiers of ancient
Harkwick. The settlers here were so few in number
that when the first farm-house in the settlement was
erected they were obliged to secure help from Hun-
terdon county. The heavy timbers then put into
frames required a greater force to lift them to their
place than is needed in raising modern frame struc-
tures, and this may account for the fact that this first
frame building erected in the settlement stood the
blasts of more than a century and a half without hav-
ing been seriously impaired.
The deed for the ground on which The Friend's
meeting-house in this place was built was given by Rich-
ard Penn, a grandson of William Penn, in 1752. Pre-
vious tothe erection of a mill in this neighborhood the
people took their grain to Kingwood, in Hunterdon
county, to be ground.
Mr. Edsall from reliable date furnished him has
summed up the settlements in other portions of Sus-
sex and Warren as follows : "In that pait of ancient
Newton known as Vernon township there were some
early settlements principally consisting of tbcse who
78 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
had rirst tried their fortunes in Orange county. One
Jose])!! Perry, wko had prepared for the erection of a
house there about the year 1740, could not raise the
timbers without procuring help from New Windsor.
Col. De Kay settled in New York upon the edge of
this township in 1711 ; some of his lands which he
held under a New York patent now lie this side the
boundary line. The McComleys, Campbells, Edsalls,
Winans, Hynards, Simonsons, etc., did not come in
until just before the Revolution at which period a
considerable amount of population had spread not
only over Vernon, but tliroughout Hardystown.
Joseph Shar[) — the father, I believe, of the late ven-
era})le Joseph Sharp of Vernon — who had obtained a
propiietary right to a large body of land stretching
from Deckertown to the sources of the Wallkill, came
from Salem county a few years before the Revoluton
and erected a furnace and forge about one mile south
of Hamburg, which were known tor some years as the
'Sharps})orough Iron Works.' This was the sticond
furnace erected in Sussex county Sharp lost a great
deal from this enterprise ; and particularly from the
annoyance which he met with from the sheriff of the
county, — who, under certain circumstances, is well-
known to be a most unwelcome visitor — he abandoned
the works." Robert Ogden removed from Elizabeth-
town and settled in Vernon in 1765 or 1766. He was
long one of the judges of the courts of the county, and
one of its most prominent and patriotic citizens.
Three of his sons fought in the war for independence,
and one of tiiem — Col. Aaron Ogden — commanded
the honoied regiment known as (leneral Washing-
ton's Life-Guard.
" From the year 1740 to the close of the Revolu-
tion there was a considerable immigration of Ger-
HISTORY OF WARREN COrNTY. 79
mans. Among the first of this class were John Bern-
hart and Casper Shafer, his son-in-law. They had
purchased lands where Still w^ater village now is, of
persons in Philadelphia, and in the year 1742 by the
Delaware and the valley of the Paiilinskill, they
journeyed to their destination and took possession of
the tra(!t indicated by their title-deeds. They were
followed in a fe'.v years by the Wintermntes. the
Snovers, Swartsw^elders. Staleys, Merkels, Schmncks,
Snooks, Mains, Couses, and a large number of other
Germans, who settled principally in the valley of the
Paulinskill, although a portion branched off in other
directions. Mr. Bernhardt lived only a few years
after his arrival. He died in 1748, and was the lirst
person buried in the cemetery of the old German
church, — the cemt^tery having been us'^d before the
church was built, v/hich w^as not erected till 1771. In
the beginning of his life in the backw^oods, Mr. Shafer
found it necessary to cross the Pahaqualin Mountain
to gr^t his grist ground ; the mode adopted was that
of leading a horse along an Indian tiaii. upon wdiose
back the bag of grain was borne. This inconvenience
suggested to him the expedient of constructing a
mill upon his ow^n property, w^hich he did in the fol-
lowing primitive manner : First, he built a low dam
.of cobblestones, filled in with gravel, across th^^ kill,
to create a water-power; he then drove the piles into
the ground, forming a foundation for his building to
rest upon ; then upon these he built a small frame or
log mill- house, furnishing it with one small run of
stones, and other equally simple and primitivp ma-
chinery. His mill being thns furnished and put in
operation, was capable of grinding about five bushels
a day; yet it was a great convenience and was resorted
to from far and near. Tn a few years he built a better
80 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
mill and coirmienced shipping tioiir to Pliiladelpliia'
loading it on aiiat-boat and running it down the Paiil-
inskill and the Delaware to its place of destination.
'Mr. Sliafer was the tirst nian in this region to open
a business intercourse with Elizabethtown ; he heard
from the Indians in his vicinity that there was a large
place fa]' away to the southeast which they called
"Tespatone", and he determined to ascertain the
truth of this assertion. He travelled over mountains
and through bogs and forests, and after a rough
journey of some lifty miles he arrived at the veritable
" Old Borough". He opened a traffic in a moderate
wny at this time, and thus laid the foundation of that
protitable intercourse between the southeastern towns
and cities and Northern New Jersey which has in-
creased from that time to the present, and almost
entirely excluded Philadelphia from participation in
the trade from this part of the State.'
" Robert Paterson was the first settler at Belvi-
dere according to the 'Historical Collections,' about
the year 1755. 'Shortly after, a block house was
erected on the north side of the Request, some thirty
or forty yards east of the toll-house of the Belvidere
Delaware bridge. Some time previous to the Revolu-
tionary war a battle was fought on the Pennsylvania
side of the river between a band of Indians who came
from the north and the Delawares residing on the
.Jersey side.' The name 'Belvidere' was given to the
village by Maj. Robert Hoops because of the beauty
of its situation. It was made the county-seat of
AVarren county, when the latter was set off from Sus
sex, in 1S24.
"The Greens, Armstrongs, Pettits, VanHorns,
Simes, Hazens, Dyers, Cooks, Shaws and others set-
tled in and around the present village of Johnsonburg,
"HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 81
foTmerly called the ' Log Jail,' where the county-seat
of Sussex was iirst located and the first jail built.
"In 1769 the Moravian Brethren, from Bethle-
hem, Pa., purchased fifteen hundred acres of land of
Samuel Green for the sum of five hundred and sixty-
: three pounds, or about two thousand five hundred
dollars, and founded the village of Hope. This Samuel
Green was a deputy surveyor for the West Jersey
proprietors, and owned several tracts of land in an-
cient Hardwick and Greenwich. ' The Moravians re-
mained at Hope some thirty-five years, when they
■ commenced selling their property and returned to
IBethlehem; Sampson Howell, who settled at the foot
of Jenny Jump Mountain, near Hojie, a year or two
before the Moravians arrived, erected a saw-mill and
supplied the lumber for the construction of the very
substantial buildings erected by the United Brethren."
We have thus glanced briefl.y at the first settle-
ments in the principal parts of Sussex and Warren.
They Avere made for the most part within a period of
about fifty years, embracing the first half of the
eighteenth century,— that is by the year 1750 perma-
nent settlements had been made in most of the im-
portant parts of the two counties. When Morris
county was set off in 1738, northern New Jersey be-
gan to attract attention. It was then ascertained
that, although this section had at a remote period evi-
dently been g, favorite residence of the Indians, most
of them had departed and occu|)ied hunting grounds
farther to the north and west. Little danger was
therefore to be apprehended from the red men by
those who settled in the central portions of the terri-
tory ; for, even if they should become hostile, the
line of settlements on the Delaware from the Mus-
conetcong to the Neversink would be more apt to bear •
82 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
the brunt. Hence immigrants liowed in, and by 1760
they had become so numerous and had experienced
so much inconvenience from being compelled to go to
Morristown to attend to public business, that they
very generally petitioned the Provincial Assembly to
"divide the county" and allow them "the liberty of
building a court-house and gaol." This request was
granted, resulting in the erection and organizati(m of
Sussex county in 1758. As to the nationalities con-
stituting the base of population, Mr. Edsall made as-
comi)lerf^ a list as practicable from the public records
for the first six years of the existence of the county.
"This list contains four hundred and two names, of
which those ifidicating an English and Scotch origin
are the most numerous ; those pertaining to Holland
and Germany follow next, and the residue are derived
from France, Ireland, Wales and Norway."
One thing which stood very much in the way of
the prosperity of the early settlers was the appropri-
ation by the proi^rietors of many portions of the best
land in the county. As early as 1715, when as yet
but two or three points in the whole territory had
been settled, the sagacious proi)rietors of West Jer-
sey, fors*^eing that these lands would ultimately be-
come very valuable, sent their surveyors, who pene-
trated the heart of the country establishing "butts
and hounds" of many of the most desirable tracts.
Among others William Penn located three tracts of
land, containing ten or twelve thousand acres, in
around the vicinity of Newton. "In this way the
best locations were generally entered before any im-
migrants had arrived in the central portions of the
county, and they had to cultivate the soil, when they
did come, as tenants or trespassers."
FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR, 1755.
9,
«»)■ — r-4-^:r^~gi»
L-'HE people of New Jersey treated tlie Indians with
J exceptional fairness and the troubles begun in
1755 by the Indians were not reincited by any act
of injustice. The people of the province of New Jer-
sey had never shed any of their blood or cheated them
out of their lands. Nevertheless the frontiers of Sus-
sex and Warren counties were the sites of much car-
nage and bloodshed from 1755 to 1758. The causes of
this savage attack and massacre, were, however, en-
tirely beyond their control. It was at a time when
France and England were at war and the colonies be-
longing respectively to the above-named nations "had
secured the alliance of the various Indian tribes, on
one side or the other in the great contest then pend-
ing." The Iroquois, or Six Nations, of New York,
were for the English and were great factors in the
struggle that resulted in the defeat of the French.
The Iroquois were the hereditary enemies of the Dela-
ware and Susquehanna Indians. The French had at
this time extensive possessions in the vicinity of the
St. Lawrence and had forts extending from Quebec to
Mobile Bay, and their agents, traders and missionaries
were widely scattered among the Indians of all that
region of country. Although "Lake Champlain,
Niagara and Pittsburg were at that time the nearest

frontier was accessible by a few days' march along
the great trails leading to the Susquehanna and Dela-
ware rivers.*' These paits were then moich exposed,
as the Iroquois were away fighting for the English at
other ])laces. It is very probable that the Indians
who niuidered nn the borders of Sussex and Warren
were incited to their deeds of blood by the French.
Tli^re was another cause more local in its charac-
ter, Avhich embittered and prolonged the strife.
William Penn had obtained his lands of the Minsies,
through his agents, by the famous "walking pur-
chase" of 1787. This the Indians deemed unfair, and
distrust and jealousy took the place of the confidence
which they had before had in the whites. They
smothered their resentment till 17.^5 and then resolved
to seek revenge and again obtain possession of the
country that had been procured from them by treach-
ery and fraud. It is, however, to be deplored that
the innocent as well as the guilty suffered in the storm
of blood and carnage which swept over the valley
during those terrible years of war. The savage, in the
height of his fury, seldom pauses to consider whether
the scalp belongs to friend or foe. The conflicts were
mostly confined to the Pennsylvania side of the Dela-
ware, but New Jersey also felt the shock of the
conflict.
In December of the same year the Legislature
passed an act authorizing the erection of four blcc k-
houses on the Delaware in Sussex county. Jchn
Stevens and John Johnson were designated to super-
intend their erection. They had "voluntarily offered
themselves for that service .^rr//y>.'' Twohurdred and
fifty men were enlisted to garrison the block-houses
and ten thousand pounds were granted to pay the ex-
penses of protecting the frontiers.
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 85
The troops rhat were enlisted were to serve one
month, or until their places could be tilled by others.
The block- houses that were erected were num-
bered from I to 4. They were garrisoned as soon as
possible yet the Indians continued to make incursions
into ' the neighborhood and to form ambuscades so
near to the forts that j)arties going out hunting or
fishing were on one or two occasions surprised and
killed. It became necessary to issue an order to the
effect that all officers and soldiers should remain with-
in their garrisons. During times of general alarm
whole -leighborhoods liocked to the block-houses.
\Vith all the vigilence of the garrisons the Indians
would sometimes elude them and get inside and do
their bloody work. They did so when they' came
over into Hardwick and captured the Hunts and
Swart wouts. ''A party of five Indians, who had for-
merly resided in the neighborhood but had removed
to Pennsylvania, determined to capture three men —
Richard Hunt, Harker and Swartwout — having be-
come disaffected towards them because of the part
they had taken in the colonial service. They accord-
ingly t-rossed the Delaware near where Dingman's
ferry now is, and in the evening reached the log house
of Richard Hunt, having travelled about fifteen miles
on the Jersey side of the river. Richard Hunt was.
absent from home and the only occupants of the house,
at the time were Thomas Hunt, a younger brother,
and a negro servant. The latter was engaged in
amusing himself and companion by playing on a
violin, when their sport was suddenly interrupted by
the Indians. Quick as thought the boys sprang to
the door, closed and bolted it. Their fun was at an
end, and the negro, in his terror, 'threw his fiddle
into the fire and awaited in trembling suspense the
-86 HISTORY OF WAKREN COUNTY.
result of the unwelcome visit.' The Indians disap-
peared and were Q;one about an hour. It was discov-
ered, by their footprints in a newly plowed piece of
ground, that during their absence they had recon-
noitred the house of Mr. Dildine, where Richard
Hunt happened to be at the time ; but they evidently
dared not make an attack at that place. Returning
to Mr. Hunt's house, tliev made a movement to set it
on lire, threatening to burn the inmates alive if they
did not surrender. The boys yielded and were forced
to accompany the savages, who proceeded toward the
Delaware by the way of the southerly end of Great
Pond, and soon came to the house of Swartwuot, who
lived on the tract now occupied by the village of New
Paterson. Mrs. Swartwout, soon after their ajjproach
to the house, went out to the milk-house without a
thought of danger, and was instantly shot down.
They then attemi)ted to enter the house, but Swart-
wout seized his rille and held them in check. Finally
he agreed to surrender if they would spare his life and
the lives (;f his son and daughtei'. They consented to
this proposition, but they either tliemselves violated
their pledge or, what was worse, i^rocured a white
man t(» do it, for S wart w(nit was murdered, and a man
named Springer was arrested, convicted and hung for
the niurdei-. Swartwouf s two children were taken to
an Indian town on the Susquehanna, while Hunt and
the negro were taken to Canada. Hunt was sold by
bis emptors to a French military officer and accompa-
nied liiiii as liis servant. His motlier, anxious for his
deliveiance if alive, attended the general conference
at Easton, in October, ITHS, where a treaty was made
with the Six Nations, and, finding a savage there who
knew ]i«'r son, she gave him sixty pounds to procure
his fiHpdom and return him to his friends. This
HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. 87
proved money wasted. Hunt was soon after liberated
under that provision of the treaty of Easton which
made a restoration of prisoners oblicratory uj)on the
Indians, and readied home in 1759, after a servitude
of three years and nine months. Swartwout's chil-
dren must have l)een freed about a year after their
captnre, for we lind his son in New Jersey in 1757,
active in causing the arrest of a white man named
Benjamin Springer, whom he charged with being the
murderer of his father."
Springer A^as tried in Morris county according to
an act passed by the Assembly Oct. 27, 1757. The
trial was transferred to Morris count}' "because the
Indian disturbances in Sussex rendered it difficult, if
not dangerous to hold a Court of Oyer and Terminer
there,'' Springer had a fair trial and was convicted,
but many afterwards believed him to have been
wrongly accused.
When the troubles began with the Indians in
1756, most of the settlers along the slopes of the Blue
Mountains took the precaution to fortify their houses
by building stockades around them. A number of
Indians lived in the neighborhood at that time nnd
though openly friendly it was not known how soon
th-^y might rush forth with the tomahawk and scalp^
ing knife. Mr. Casper Shafer lived in this neighbor^
hood and his house was quite a resort during any
unusual alarm. One night, however, when he was
alone, the Indians came, surrounded his house, and
by their yells, etc., showed unmistakable signs of hos-
tility. He barred up his house, and started across
the fields to get assistance. "Soon he found himself
hotly pursued by one of the enemy, and likely to be
overtaken ; whereupon he turned upon his pursuer,
and, being an athletic man, seized the Indian, threw

him and bound him hand and foot with his garters,
while he went on his way and procured the desired
assistance. Mr. Depue, in Wulpaok, also had a nar-
row escape trom the tomahawk and scalping knife.
A party of Indians broke into his house at midnight,
with murderous intent, and he, being aroused from
slumber, seized his loaded gun and aimed it at the fore-
most aggressor, who, realizing his danger, uttered the
peculiar Indian Ugh I dodged away and lied. So acted
the next, and another, and another ; and thus with-
out firing his gun, he succeeded in driving the whole
gang from his dwelling."
Y^'ielding to petitions that were sent, the General
Assembly on June 8d, 1757, "enacted that one hun-
dred and twenty men be immediately raised with the
proper number of officers ; that Jonathan Hampton
be aj^pointed paymaster and victualer for the compa-
ny and thaf he provide and allow each officer and
soldier the following provisions every week, viz :
seven pounds of bread, seven i)ounds of beef, or in
lieu thereof, four pounds of pork, six ounces of but-
ter, three pints of peas, and half a pound of rice."
A year after this, 1758, when everything was sup ■
posed to be quiet, Nicholas Cole and family of Wal-
])ack were attacked and the most of them murdered.
Those who were noi; murdered were (;arried away into
captivity. Otlier murders followed. The i)eople
again petitioned for i)rotection and the General As-
sembly ordered another levy of one hundred and fifty
men. It was ordered, however, that none, except
otiicers, be taken from the militia of Sussex as they
might -Ije needed at any time in case of a fornddable
attack. Twenty guides, who were well acquainted
with the country were to be hired by the commanding
oflic.T to conduct the troops through the woods of

Sussex. It was further provided " that inasinucli as
the Indians are a very private and secret enemy, and
as it has been thought dogs would be of great service
in discovering them in their secret retreats among the
swamps, rocks and mountains, frequent in those
parts ; therefore be it enacted, etc., that it shall and
may be lawful for the i)aymaster aforesaid to procure
upon the best terms he can fifty good, large, strong
and tierce dogs ; and the same so procured to be sup-
plied with food necessary to their subsistence, equal
to ten men' s allowance in quantity ; which said dogs
shall be disciplined for and employed in the service,
in such manner as the said Major, in conjunction with
the Commission officers, or the major part of them
shall think proper.'

was steering, and when they came to the bank of the Dela-
ware, they heard Bome Indians chopping on a small island in
the river, and paw ten of them making a raft in order to cross
the i-iver. Vantile and his men watched them very strictly
the whole night. In the morning, early, the Indians packed
up their clothes and other thintrs and waded the river, draw-
ing their raft after them. Vantile, perceiving hy their course
ihat they would land higher tip than where he and his men
were posted, crept privately up the river until they came
Avithin one hundred yards of them, when they saw a smoke
xipon the shore and an Indian rise up, who came towards the
soldiers, but he soon returned to the tire and took up his gun ;
oipon which about tifteen Indians rose up and took hold of
their guns. The sergeant then ordered his men to fire upon
them, and the Indians returned their tire and advanced ; the
aforesaid ten Indians who were coniing from the island also
fired very briskly. The sergeant and his men sustained the
attack with great courage, and after fi,ghting six rounds and
boldly advancing towards the enemy the Indians fied in great
confusion, leaving behind them four guns, four tomaliawks,
three pikes, tifteen pairs of maccains, fifteen pairs of stock-
ings, and other sundry things. These are supposed to be the
same Indians who had attacked Uriah Westfall's and Abraham
Cortwright's houses."
" His Excellency, Governor Bernard, hath sent up orders
to the officers upon the frontiers to restrain the soldiers from
leaving their quarters and straggling into the woods to shoot
and hunt as the same is certainly a dangerous and pernicious
practice ; for on Friday last Wm. Ward was shot and scalped,
ae he was hunting within a half-mile of No. 3, in the county of
Sussex ; and the same day about noon a house was burned
on the opposite side of the river. The Indians shouted and
fired several guns while it was burning.
" Some days since a man and a boy, traveling along the
public highway in the said county of Sussex, were attacked
by the Indians. The man was shot dead ; the boy was

.surprised, but, tinding one of tlie ludiaus in pursuit of
him, he had presence of mind, as the last refuge, to turn
and lire upon hiui and saw him drop. The other Indian
still pursued, and the boy perceiving his gun so retarded
his ilight that he must be taken, broke it to pieces against
a*rock, that it might not fall into the enemy's hands, and
maae his escape from them. He then alarmed the people,
who immediately went out upon the scout wdth guns and
dogs, and, coming to the place where the boy shot the
Indian, found a great deal of blood, but not the body.
They searched very diligently about the woods, when at
last one of the dogs began barking ; and, going to see what
was the matter, they found him barking at a bunch of
brush, and turning it aside they found the Indian buried
with his clothes and tomahawk, upon which they scalped
him and brought away the things they found buried with
him. On Tuesday, the 16th of June, Justice Decker, of
the county of Sussex, brought the said Indian scalp and
tomahawk to Perth Amboy. This savage proved to be the
notorious bloody villain well-known by the name of Capt.
Armstrong, a noted ring-leader of the Delaware s, who, with
other Indians, was concerned with Benjamin Springer
(lately executed in Morris county) in the murder of An-
thony Swartwout, his wife and children."
There were a number of attempts made to treat
with the Indians and establish peace. In 1756 a com-
mittee was ap];)ointed by the Legislature to treat with
them. They met the Indians at Crosswicks during
the winter, heard their grievances and reported to the
Legislature which passed acts to relieve them.
Another conference was held at Burlington Aug.
7, 1758. This was brought about through the diplo-
macy of the noted chief Teedyuscung, king of the
Delawares. Nothing came of it, however, except the
underst^anding to meet again at Easton, the place of

council was heid Oct. 8, 1758. The result of it was
that the Indians released all the lands claimed by
them witliin the limits of New Jersey for the sum of
one thousand pounds.
Deeds were also obtained, and it was declared
" that by these two agreements the province of New
Jersey is entirely freed and discharged from all Indian
claims."
WARREN # SUSSEX IN THE REVOLUTION.
ARREN county was a part of Sussex during
the Revolution, hence our history of those
times ^\i]l cover the territory of both.
These counties were much exposed to the savage
allies of the British during the struggle for indepen-
dence, owing to their frontier situation along the
Delaware.
Many were the battles with the Indians that
these people had been compelled to hght during col-
onial times, and consequently here were a people
whose experience had made them familiar with mili-
tary discipline and the use of arms. Moreover they
were a people who had inherited a love of liberty and
were somewhat trained in the x>i'iii('il>lf^'^ <'f self-gov-
ernment. They were intelligent and patriotic and had
among them men capable of tilling almost any posi-
tion in life and taking the lead in any emergency.
The two counties then numbered about thirteen thou-
sand. A series of resolutions adopted at a meeting
of a number of Freeholders and inhabitants of the
county of Sussex, A, D. 1774 declared "That it is our
duty to render true and faithful allegiance to George
the Third, King of Great Britain, but, that it is un-
doubtedly our right to be taxed only by our own
94 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY.
consent given by ourselves or our Representatives
etc."" At a meeting held in New Brunswick, July
23, 1774, a commission of fourteen persons was chosen
to represent New -Jersey in the General Congress that
convened at Philadelphia, Sept. 5, 1774. At this time
a separation from the mother country was not con-
temx)lated, although the people were determined to
secure their just rights as British subjects. They had
no desire to provoke a war but tried to settle the con-
troversies amicably. It was not till blood was spilt
at Concord and Lexington that the people were con-
vinced that all attempts at reconciliation were useless.
This was "the straw that broke the camel's back"
and cemented the people in one grand and united pur-
pose to declare and maintain their freedom. The
people were aroused, "The fathers of Sussex county
showed 'an eye to the main chance' in petitions to
restrain shopmen from raising the price of their goods.
In fact the whole province was in a ferment ; Tories
were called to repentance, strollers, vagabonds, horse-
thieves, and otlie]' nuisances were summarily abated;
the freemen of the State gathered around the altar of
Liberty, and 'i)l edged their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor' to the defense and triumj^h of
poX^ular rights. They h.irdly knew what was to come
of it ; but, having put their hand to the plow they did
not look back.'"
Committees of safety were organized in all the
townships of Sussex county, and representatives from
the township committees, formed the county com-
mittee of safety, which met at the Court House at
Newton (mce a month. "This committee exercised a
general supervision over tiip township organizations, ,
provided means for promoting the popular cause, and
procured the oath ol' abjuration to be administered to

every citizen of the county, carefully notin^r down
the names of thos^- who refused, with the grounds
upon which they l>ased such refusal, and causing the
recusants to lie presented by the grand inquest of the
county, to the end that they might appear in court
and ()[)enly recant, or give bonds for their peaceable
behavior. The niinutes of the sittings of this im-
portant committee were carefully written out for the
information of subordinate committees, and. with a
little care might have been preserved." At one of
these meetings ''returns were called for from the sev-
eral townships of the names of those who refused to
sign the articles of association for the respective town-
ships. In (^reenwich seven person-^j Avere returned as'
having refused to sign, four of whom were Quakers,
who declared it to be against their conscience to take
up arms ; one gave no reason and the remaining two
would 'take time to consider.'. Prom Mansfield two
names were returned, but no ^ reason for refusal as-
signed. In Sandystown all signed except two ' who
are willing to do so when opportunity offers.' In
Montague every citizen signed and in Wantage all
agreed except Joseph Havens and one or two more
Quakers, ' who are Whigs and are willing to con-
tribute.' The other towns, says the record not having
had the association particularly carried to the inhabi-
tants, ordered that the committee of said towns wait
upon the people and make return at the next meeting
of the committee."
"What report was made from 'the other towns*
is not known, but may be inferred from the returns
just given. These items afford us an insight into the
^state of feeling which pervaded the county at that
early stage of the conflict, and conclusively refute the
gross imputations which have been recklessly and

maliciously cast upon the patriotism of our Revolu-
tionary citizens.
"At this meeting means were taken to raise by
tax the county's quota of ten thousand i)Ounds
ordered by the Provincial Congress of New Jersey for
th'-' purpose of raising money to i)urehase arms and
auiiiiuniiion, and for other exigencies of the province.
Casper Shai'er was appointed collector of the county,
to take charge of the funds to be raised under the au-
thority of the Committee of Safety. It was also or-
dered "that the captains of the respective companies
of ndlitia send an account to the next meeting of the
comudttee of all jDersons upwards of sixteen and under
lifty years old in their several districts who refuse to
sign the muster roll, that their names may be for-
warded to the Pi'ovincial Congress.'
''Captain John McMurtry and Lieut. William
White, <d' Oxford township, being desirous to go to
Boston, where the Anrericans were rallying under the
standard of Waslnngton, then just api^ointed Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Continental forces, requested
the committee to certify as to their 'i)lace of abode,
character and reputation." which was at once com-
plied with.
"On motion, it was 'Resolved, mem. con.. That
any person thinking himself aggrieved by any mer-
chant i)\ trader in this county taking an exorbitant
price for any article of goods make apx)lication to the
chairman of the town committee where such merchant
or trader resides, who is to call a meeting of said com-
nnttee as soon as convenient thereafter, which said
meeting is to consist of live members at least. And
the said ••omnnttee, when convened, shall notify the"
said merchant or trader to appear and show why he
has taken so great a price ; and if it shall appear that

he has taken an unreasonable profit, or shall refuse to
attend or give any satisfaction in the premises, that
he be cited by the said committee to appear at the
next meeting of the county committee, there to be
dealt with according to the rules of the Continental
Congress.'
"A memorial on this subject was also drawn up
and ordered to be presented to the Continental Con-
gress, praying that the latter body would make in-
quiry and ascertain if the Philadelphia and New Y'ork
merchants of whom the traders in this county pur-
chased their goods were not at the bottom of the sys-
tem of corruption, speculating upon the public neces-
sity by affixing exorbitant prices upon their mer-
chandir^e."
According to reports the above restrictions were
loudly called for as fifty bushels of wheat were re-
quired to get one bushel of salt ; calico cost fifteen
shillings a yard, while rye sold for one shilling eight
pence per bushel. "Only one pair of shoes a year
could be ]»urchased, which were generally bought
about Christmas time, and which the fair owners
carefully preserved from dilapidation through the
summer by going barefoot, like the enchanting god-
desses that figure in ancient mythology.''
The Provincial Congress changed the government
of New Jersey from the colonial to a constitutional
government, or State, on June 21st, 1776. Ten men
were appointed to draw up a draft of a constitution
for the State of which committee, Rev. Jacob Green
of Morris county was chairman. That eminent law-
yer, Jonathan Dickinson, and Ur. John Withersj^oon,
president of Princeton College, were members of this
committee. The draft was submitted and adopted as
the first,constitution of New Jersey.
98 HISTORY OF WARREN COUNTY. "
The country of the Minisinks which had suffered^
severely through the French and Indian war did not^
have any better fortune during the Revolution. All
the hoiTors of an Indian warfare were expeiienced by
the settlers in this region. The Indians were incited
by the British to acts of horrible bi-utality. Brant,
the noted Mohawk chief, was the bravest and most
ferocious leader among these savage allies of the
British.
Sussex county enjoys the distinction of furnish-
ing Congress with cannon-balls and steel dnring their
struggle for indej)endence.
The old iron-works at Andover had been erected
by an English company. The company were pro-
tected by the army at Fhilad^Jphia down to the be-
ginning of 1778, when it changed hands and was run
by Americans.
"Passing frcmi the control of tliose who had no
interest in the American cause^ and who had probably
used them in aid of enemies of the country, they came
into the hands of men whose fervid patriotism was
fitly symbolized in the glow of their rekindled fires."
The Andover works continued until the end of the
war to furnish supplies to the Continental army. The
remainder of the history of Sussex during the Revolu-
tion we are compelled for want of sj^ace to pass over.

^ IS'^l with the same vividness and reality with
which the stirring scenes of the first year of
the war then struck the public mind. Only those who
particii^ated in them can fully ajipreciate those times.
The present generation can only know of them by the
light of tradition and history. The "great uprising"
of popular feeling and patriotism that was occasioned
by the tiring on Fort Sumpter penetrated into every
State, county, village and hamlet, awakening the peo-
ple to a realization of the crisis that was upon them.
The country had been pausing in anxious suspense to
see what result would follow the secession of South
Carolina and what she Avould do with the garrison of
Fort Sumpter and the flag that so proudly waved
above her walls
The moment that flag was struck the i)ause was
at an end and the shock of the bitter struggle that
followed thrilled the whole land. The President
-called for troo2)s and immediately flags were hoisted
and recruiting stations established in every town and
school district in the North. Business was suspended

feeling to the sound of the flfe and dnim. The North

with alacrity to the call of the President for the men
and means with which to decide the question of union
or s«^cession.
"New Jersey was not behind the other States of
the North in responding to the call. Governor Olden,
her ex^'cutive, was patriotic and energetic. He was
greatly assiste-d in the selection of officers l)y a board
of examiners comi)osed of Adjt.-Gen. Stockton, Lieut.
T. A. Torbert, and Gen. William Cook. Lieut. Tor-
bert was at an early day assigned for duty at Trenton
and rendered most important service in organizing the
first New Jersey regiments for the field."
Sussex and Warren began in season to send for-
ward tlieir quota of troops. Four }'egiments were
called for from the State and tw^enty-four of the prin-
cipal banks pledged Governor Olden four hundred
and fifty- one thousand dollars. Sussex Bank, at

ers' Bank of Wantage ten thousand. Not a week had
passed after Piesident Lincoln's first call for troops
before Judson Kil}»atrick — then unknow^n to fame
and a cadet lieutenant in the United States Military
Academy at West Point — had offered his services to
Governor Olden and begged to be allowed the privi-
lege of shaiing with the soldiers of the State the
dangers and lionois of ihe field. All through the war
the counties of Sussex and Warren patriotically bore

former course. If the river continued on in this di-
recton, it would strike across the country from
^laniinka Chunk to Changewater in the line of the
Delaw^are, Lackawanna & Western Railroad ; but the
river makes a bend westward again and then east-
ward, forming the i)oint above Belvidere, whence it
proceeds in a southwesterly course past the western
point of Harmony township, and then runs in a
.southerly zig-zag course to the great bend at Holland,
in Hunterdon county. The Musconetcong valley on
the opposite side of the county is much more uniform,
that stream flowing in a curve which varies not more
than two miles from a direct line, from one extremity
of the county to the other. The extreme length of
the county from the Sussex line near Waterloo to
Musconetcong Station is about thirty miles, and as
near as can be measured on the map its supeihcial
area is three hundred and seventy square miles.''
The principal ranges of mountains in Warren
County are the Kittatinny, or Blue Mountains in the
iiorthw^estern part, the Jenny Jump in tlie central
part, Scott's Mountains between Harmony and Ox-
ford townships and the Pohatcong n;ountains in the
southwest. The principal streams are the Paulinskill
and its tributaries, Beaver Brook, Request, Pohat-
cong and Musconetcong.
AVarren county was oi'iginally part of West Jer-
sey. It was included in Hunterdon when that county
was erected in 171H-14 and remained a part of it till
Morris was set off in 1738-89. It w^as a i)art of the
territory of Sussex county when that county was
erected in 1753 and so remained till the Legislative
enactment of November 20, 18-24, made a separate
county of it.

When Gou said, " In The sweat of t)»y face shalt tnou eat bread," the
b'rth of Agiicr.lture was foietolii. Almost contemporaneous with
man's birth w;.s that of the oldest and most important of the arts, Ag
riculture. This is the only art conTe.v.poranPf)us with man, and was
the rirst if not the only one foretold by the Creator. Agriculture is
spoken uf as tlie " Mother of < ivilization," and truly sucli she is : but
not such alone. , She may quite as at)propriately be called the " Mother
of all the Arts and Sciences," and hence, the " mother of all that en-
gages and enriches iht^ entire human family to-day." As such the far-
mer may well be proud ot his occup tion, though many a thoughtless
opinion would hint to the contrary. It is difficult to lell just when Ag-
riculture as an art began to assume the mie . of importance. The earli-
est successful farming of which we have any record was carried on in
the valleys of the riveis supposed to water the Garden of Eden The
primitive farmers dwelt along the banks of the Euphrates, the Tigris
and the Nile. The old Bible patriarchs were farmers. Among these
were Noah, the owner of vineyards; Abraham, and Lot who had in
their possession large herds of cattle and sheep. Jacob was ihe first to

the tir.sl to comprehend in any imi)orlanl degree the pracUcal value of
manures. Much of their land was poor, and had lo be reclaimed from
sand-lianks. morasses, and swamps. This led them lo the practice of a
careful cultivation. They ploughed the ground over three times with
their oxen and mules, and fre<picnlly suhsoiled before planting. They
rai.scil fruit in abundance. Their knowledge of agxii-nUure and agricul-
tural literature was of a very practical nature and comparatively exten-
.sjvfc for tlieir day. Among the Romans agriculture was highly appre-
cialfd and held as a most fundamental idea. The Roman Slate pro-
vided each cili/cn with a faiin (or (garden spot as we would term it) of
seven Hci"e.s (cviual Ic about six of ouis). lo which he was rigiiily re-
stricted. Any !i .man, dissatisfied with hi'^ tract was considered a bad
citizen and a dangerous man. After Rome, by means of conquest, liad
cxtfiidetl her ilmninion, as much as fifty acres were sometimes allotted,
and the highest e.xpression i>t cununendalion that could '>e given a man
was to ^ay I'f him, " He ha- well cullivaled hi^ spot of ground." A cit-

all prosperous nations is abundantly attested by lii.story. During the
golden age of agricultuic, when the first men of Rome themselves held
the plough, the empire flourished and became the mightiest on the
globe; but ■vNhen lier agricultuial interests passed out ofthe hands of
her nobility into the hands of menials, and the nation came to rely on the
jproductions of conquered provinces, the zenith of her glory was passed
and her decline vft s begun. Vast hordes swept down upon her from the
North, and the onco mighty empire fell to rise no more. So has it been
in the history of every nation. When a nation prides itself in its
agricultural interests, then that nation grows and prospers. When
agriculture is neglected the nation becomes weak afld helpless. The
science of drainage was first intj-oduced by Sparta ; an extensive system
of irrigation and practical farming was the basis of the glory of Spain,
China, India and Babylonia, derived sustenance fioin systems of minute
divisions and thorough cultivation of lands. The first important steps in
modern scientific agriculture were taken in the eighteenth centuryt
New methods of culture, new practices, new modes ot fertilizing, new
forms and great improvements in machinery became universal ; chemis-
try, geology and botany began to illuminate the field of the farmer.
Chemistry, 'especially, began to enlighten tbe farmers' intcliigence and
scatter his prejudice, leading him to see tliat scientific knowledge is a
valuable acquisition at least, if not an indispensable requisite for the
successful agriculturist. Scientific agriculture has made marvelous
strides of development in tliis country, and hence it will be a matter of
interest and profit to trace briefly
THE HieXORY OF FARMING tN AMERICA.
The early settlers on our shores had to begin life anew in the midst of
untold hardships, privations, and dangers. Whether m Virginia, New
England, New York State, or Maryland, they found themselves under a
climate and surrounded by conditions altogether strange to them.
Everywhere they were environed by a wilderness infested by wild beasts
and savage men, rearty to prey on their cattle, destroy' their crops, and
constantly threatening their own lives and thoseof their f am lie-. When
we add to this iliat a majority of the first colonists were nf)t nnly un-
skilled in agriculture, but unused to labor of ajiy kind, ii netu not sin-
prise us that the y)rogres^ ihey made was slow, but rath»-r we wt.ndn
that they maintained themselves at all in the midst of ^uch liittniiiiic.-^
and dangers.

Tliese were tbilow ed by others in 102(i and 1(5x1!). while in 1688 we tind
100 head landed for the Governor and Company of Massachusetts Bay.
In the mean lime, the Dutch West India Company had imported into New
York S«tate 108 laltle and horses from the island of Texel, Holland. In
Ki'iT the settlements along the Delaware were sui)i)lied by the Swedish
West India ((nupauy; whiU' in l(J81 and tbllowing years many large

to New Hampshire. l»y means otOlher unrecorded importations, but
more bv naltual increase, these Northern cattle multiplied also rapidly
till liiey nuinbereil niatiy tii(»usand head.
Sucli. then, were the sources of our "native" or c mhion breed of
cattle. It iniist be observed that in tlio.se old day.-, the stock of the
mother couiUiy was nolimpriived to its present high condition. Even .so
late asin iIk- beginningof last century the averag"- dressed weiglit'of neat
cattle siMit to Smilhlield Market, l-nndoii was not over 87(i'pounds, and
of sheep, 28 pounils, whereas now these weights are over yOU pounds and
bO pounds respectively. Then the colonists had not the means of keeping
stock so as to obviate deterioration. They had no notion of raising grass
and hay by artificial means, but relied on natural meadofws, and the
grasses in the salt-niaishes along the shores. lOven so late as 1750 grain
and forHge for stock had to be imported lron\ I'lnalaiul to keep man and
beast from starving. (Jlover. a contemporary, gives us the tbllowing
glimpse of the mode of keeping cattle in Virginia : " All the inhabitants
irive tlieir cattli- ill winter is only the husks of tJieir Indian corn, unless
it be soini of tlUfin that, have a little wheal ^traw ; iieiliier do they give
Ihcm any more of these than will keep them alive." C'laylon, another
coniemporary, says : "They neither housed nor nulked theii' co>vs ipL

atliird. Their cattle are allowed to wander 'lirou^h the woods and unou';:-
vated grounds, where they are half starved, having long ago extirpated
all tiie annu-d grasses by cropping iheni too early in the spring, before
they had time t<> form their flowers or ^hed seeds." That tlie o.x of these
days was small and ill-shaped no one vs ho knows anything of stock-rearing
needs to be t(fld, and the effects of snch treatment are fnll of snggestiou
to any one who wishes to rear a thrif y and profitaldi- herd of cattie.
But bad management reacts in various ways. N'oi only did the cattle,
originall.v poor, degenerate under it. not 'uiiy were the jiasiun's ruini'd,
but the proper cultivation of tlie farm was impossible. Every farmer
knows that if the manure is allowed to go to waste, if wli;it has })een
taken from the soil is not carefully and systematically restored to it the
farm is being run down and e.xliausted. The fatal results ot this old style
of farming is being relt in N'iririnia to this day. where, such is the force of
custom, some occu|iier.s of land — we can scarce call them farmers — to
this day leave their cows out in tin- pines duiing winter, sacriticiug thus
both the animal and the means of enriching their tields. '• Previous to
our Kevolutionary War,"' says the Hon James 31. Garrett, speaking in
-1S4"2, '■ no attempts were made to collect manure tor general purpo.-,e.s
aU that was deemed needful being saved for the gardens and tobacco'
'Jots by sunvmer cow-pens. These were filled with cattle such as our
modern breeders would hardly recognize as belonging to the bovine
spories. In those days they were so utterly neglected that it was quite
common for the nudtitudes starved to death every winter to supply
hides enough for shoeing the negroes on every farm. 3Iy own grand-
father was once very near turning otf a good overseer because cattle
enouiih nail not died on the farm to fiu-nish leather for the ahove pur-
pose. When cattle were fattened for beef, almost the only process was to
turn them into the cornfield to feed themselves. Sheep and hogs were
equally neglected.'"
Improvement of cattle did not set in till after the systematic culture of
■aatiual grasse-. Even in England there is no evidence of such culture tdl
UiTT. when perennial rye-grftss was introduced, and no other variety was
liown till toward the close of the last century on the introduction <'f
timothy and orchard-grass. Red clover had been introduced in W^ii},
sainfoin in 1651, yellow clover in Ui51». but white or Dutch clover not
till 17(Jl'. Even in Sccjtland the practice of sowing grass-seed was not
known previous to 1792. No one can think it strange that the colonists,
who had vastly greater hardships to encounter, allowed their cattle
(poor ai first) to degenerate [)ersistently. One fact onl}- in some measure
compel! ated tor this: from the unliiiuted extent of their brow-iug-
irronnds the stock continued ever increa.-iug in numljers, so that by tlie

anoo in the older setliements, thai by tliis lime were comparatively free -•
from modeslation, and s)iort)y after Ilie Revolution systematic effoits be-
gun to be made for improvement in quality.
One of the chief obstacles experienced by the colonists was the want of
implements. ^Most of their tools were made at home of wood, and were ■
heavy and rude in construction. For the few pieces in which iron was •
employed either the metal was shaped on an anvil fixed up at home or^
tlie aid of the neighboring blacksmith was called in. In 1617 some-
ploughs were set to work in Virginia. In that year the governor com-
plained that " the colony did sutler for the want of means to set their
ploughs in work, , having * * almost forty bulls and oxen, but they
wanted * * iron for the ploughs and harness for the cattle." In
Ma*;sachusetts Colony it was the custom for some one owning a ploughs
to go about and do the ploughing over a considerable district, and a...
t(;wnship sometimes paid a bounty to some one who would keep a plougb ;
in repair and go about in this way. The massive old plough i-equired
three men to use it — one stout man to bear on, one to hold, and a third!. ■
to drive. The other tools wt?ie a heavy spade or clumsy wooden fork,
and, later, a harrow The ploughs used by the French .settleis upon the
'' American Botton." in Illinois so late as 1812 were made of wood, with
a small point of iron fastened upon tlie wood by strips of rawhide am)
ll)«; yokes were fastened to the horns of the oxen by raw -leather
straj)8. No small plough was used by them to j)lough corn till 1815.
Their cults had not a particle of iron about them. All the ploughs
were not so primitive, and some, as the Carey plough, the barshore
or bull plough, the sliovel plough, and the hog plough, had n ore
than a local reputation, and were in use down into tlie present century.
Of these the Carey was the most extensively used, but tlie " shovel " was -
iJie favorite in the Middle and Southern colonies. In both cases the par-
ticular form varied much accordin to the skill or taste of the blacksmith
or wheelwright who made it. In the Carey tlie landside and the stan-
dard were made of wood, and it had a wooden mould-board, often rough-
ly plated over with pieces of old saw-plate, tin or shect-iron. It had
n clumsy wrought-iron share, while the handles were upright, held in
place by two wooden pins. It took almost double the strength of team t
to pull that a modern plougli does. The oiher implements were ffw
and rude. Blow and laborious hand-labor was the rule, machine-work k
the exception. Thrashing was done with the flail, winnowing by the
wind. Indeed, it has been Raid that a strong man could have carried on^
hifi shoulder all the implements used on a farm previous to th*' present :
century.

which \vu? followed with little chaugc to the present ceutury. was to dig
holes tour teet apart, put ia a tish or lw(<, and drop the seed. The In-
■ dians' implement was a^ large clam-shell ; for this the colonists soon sub-
stituted the grub-hoc. Corn was thus raised in the James River settle-
ment in 1008. The Pilgrims similarly began its cultivation in 1621, the
tish used by them for manure being ak-wives or shad. An early chroai-
■ cier says : "According to the manner of the Indians, we manured our
ground with herrings, or rather shadi*, which we. .„. take with great
ease at our doors. You may see in one townsiiip one hundred acres to-
. gether set with these tish every acre taking a thousand of them, and an
acre thus dressed will produce as much corn as three without fish."
In Virginia wheat was sown so early as 1611, but its culture soon
began to give way to that of tobacco, and for more than one hundred
years it was almost neglected, and Indian corn— and, later, potatoes —
came to be relied on much more as means of .sustenance. As a matter
of fact, wheat lias never been a reliable or protitable crop on our
' aastern shores, especially in the Middle and Southern States, li^vea
• at the present day, with all our improved- mode>< of tillage, it would
be grown to a very litHited extent were it not for the sake of the
«rass crop which is seeded along with it. Rye and barley were intro-

M«inial.s. Tlie practice of sowinggras'i-seed did not become general till
4he UevoUitii>n. Here, a-* in the mother-country, thi^ culture is the re-
sult of modern improvement. The culture of tlK- [lotato. though intro-
dnced early, was not recognized as of importance till the middle of last
■ century, when the root ])ecame esteemed as an article of food. In 1747
seven luindred bu.shcls were exported from South Carolina.
Tobacco began u> he. cultivated in Virginia from the very origin
•^of the colony. It is recorded that in 1015 tlie gardens, fields, and
the very streets of Jamestown were all planted with tobacco, which
became not (»nly the sta[>le cro{>, but the currency of the colony. By
1632 the pro(hict anu»unted to 60.000 pounds, and it nu>re tlian
doubled in twenty years. Its culture wa« introduced into the Dutch

miserable cattle, meagre crops, and wretched ideas of farming. Dur-
ing 'lie Kevoliition-year'< agriculinre was brought to a slandsiill, and
for lontr after it was in a state of extreme depression. Giadually the
necessity of making some effort toward its development began todawu
on the more intelligent and i>ul)lics'jirited. and as a result we bad
the inauguration of local r'gricultual societies. The earliest of tbe-
seems to have been the South Carolina Society, founded in 1784; tbt
Pliilalelpbia, in 1785; New York in 1701; Massachusettsr, in 1192-
Th" first agricultural exhibition took place under tbe auspices ■ f the
Columbia Society at Georgetown, D. C, May 10, 1810, and others
followed. In 1816 the Massaehusetts Society offered premiums and
instituted a idoughing match. The i)lougL-ni!iki'rs were there witiB
their eyes wide open; and this meeting, if it did not absolutely in-
augurate the new eta of agricultural mechanics, certainly gave no
mean impulse to this important agent in the development of American
husbandry. The old wooden plough gave place to the cast-iron plough;
of New Jersey, which is in turn being supplanted by the polished,
steel plough of to-day. A better knowledge has enabled our inventors-
to reduce the weight of the parts of the implements and at the same
time secure more effective work while the application of steam is
multiplying our resources indefinately, and it has become the 'main
agent in the development of the great West. ' F6i'ty acres a day are"
now ploughed by steam, instead of little over a quarter of an acre in
ancient times. The steam thrasher now does the work of a thousand
flails: the classic sickle has been supplanted by ihe great reaping and
binding-machine, and the scythe by the mower. Hay is raked and
stacked by liorse-jwwer, and the boy, bag, and hoe are being
superseded by the automatic corn-planter. Space would fail us weft'
we to try to enumerata a tithe of the successful labor-saving imple-
ments introduced within the last half century — cultivators, horse-hoes,,
grubbers, drills, seed-sowers, etr. etc.; and invention is still maintain-

ami the ljest;|,crops. His simple code was: "I have a good subject
(farni);^I pulverize deeplj' and well, clean well, and manure well." This
lies al the button) of snccesslul farming. We now pass to the consider-
ation of i)ractical farm topics. First let us look at the subject of
DUAINING.
It has been well termed -'the most valuable improvement connected
with agriculture." Drainage does the same service for the soil that the
hole in the bottom does for the tlower-pot.
But drainage produces several other effects that are important : (1)
The stagnant watei' being removed and the earlh rendered less moist at
the surface, far less evapoi'ation takes place there ; wherefore, as evap-
oration cools the surface very considerably, a drained field keeps the
Leat better, and as a consequence, the crop lipens earlier. (2) Lands
well-drained and deeply tilled bear the drought better than others, by
enabling the roots to penetrate deeper down to the moist earth, and by
the increased porosity enabling the soil to retain moisture longer. (3)
By cari7ing the redundant moisture leadily away at all seasons it en-
ables you to cultivate sooner after wet weather, thus lengthening your
season for tillage and thoroughly mellowing the soil, which cannot be
done if it be too wet. (4) It avoids the danger of plants being frozen
out in a hard winter, which they often are if the surface is fu51 of water
on the approach of severe frost. (5) The drains (especially if laid with
pipes) open the soil to the free access of air, and the soil is thus rendered
fit to absorb and retain the fertilizing gases of the atmosphere — carbon-
ic acid and ammonia — as well ae the nutritious substances brought into
it by the rain-water, and keep them laid up for the nourishment of
plants. (0) General drainage lessens or removes malarious influences,
there being no curse so baneful to a farmer's family as fever and ague.
To these it may be added that cold and stagnant water checks the de-
composition ot manures and prevents them feeding the crop.
Drainage is eflected either by open ditches or by covei'ed drains.
Open ditclies are objectionable for the following reasons : they occupy
land which might otherwise be productive ; they interfei'e with the
proper cultivation of the land ; they are liable to cave in and become
dammed up ; they carry off much of the best of the manure washed into
them by heavy rains ; weeds are liable to grow along their sides.
Under-drains are constructed in vaiious ways. Where wood is pleu*
ty, surface stones scarce, and tiles not to be had, logs or large polcb are
sometimes used. One pole is laid lengthways along either side of the
bottom of the ditch, which must be broad enough to alloAV a free run
for the water between the poles. This opening is covered by a larger
log resting on the two bottom ones, and the whole is covered with
brush laid with its cut ends towards the outlet, or straw, which, again,
118 MISCELLANEOUS DEPABTMENT.
should be covered with sods with ihe grassy side downward, the object
being to keep the run clear from being stopped up by earth. The whole
is then filled m with earth packed close. Stone drains are made much
in the same way, except that in place of logs largish stones arc used to
form the run, or the ditch is filled to the dei)th of nine to twelve inches
with small or pouniled stones. Stone drains can only be made where
there is abiuidance of stones on the surface of the land.
Tile drains are undoubtedly the best. They are less liable to get
slopped; the tiles are out of reach of the plou h; air passes upward
through the bore, thus ventilating and enriching the soil ; they last
longer (a properly-laid drain will be good for half a century), and are,
ill the end, more economical. F(n- a tile drain a trench of a foot wide
at top and four inches at bottom is sutficient. For the pipe a simple
round tube is found to be the best shape, and for the interior drains
wliich enter into the larger main drains a bore of two inches in diameter
is the right size. The distance commonly allowed between tile drains
is 25 feet for three feet deep : 40 feet for 4 feet deep : 80 feet for 5 feet
deep. If the drains are 20 feet apart, about 3000 tiles to the acre are
required; if 40, about 1000 ; if 80, 500. Tiles can be purchased for
from flO to $12 a thousand. Deep digging saves money for tiles, and is
generally l)olicved to be more eiTective. A tile drain must be deep
enough to be out of the reach of frosts and to be beyond the reach of
roots ; 30 inches is a co > men depth ; but a drain of this depth is not so
elTective as one from 0 lo ;^0 inches deeper. The deep drain acts far-
ther and with more effect than the -^hallow, catching springs the other
passes over.
Tiles with a two-inch bore are tlie most common capacity, and they
are usually made about fifteen inches long, the continuity of th(^ drain
being maintained by collars. It is • f course impossible in our space lo
give minute details as to the distance, grade, and digging of your drains,
or ns to the anangetncnt of main and lateral drains, for these vary in
nccoifiancf with circumstances. One point, however, the tarmer must
iitlfud to — viz. lo secure a ooiniietcnt o\illct. tor witlioul this all liis toil
,'ifnl labor is tlirown away. Maki' il as low as lircunistanccs will per-
mit, in order lo secure as great a fall as possible, which should never be
loss than one inch to iIk; rod. The outlet should be protected by either
'»»rick or stone-work, and have a grate over the same, to prevent ob-
structions getting inlii ihc pipe.
I'l.Ol (illlNCi.
All cultivation, whether with the i»lougli, hai row, or hoe, has for its
■objecl the reducing of the soil lo such a line and loo.se condition that it

posiiiiuii lu be used as plunt-l'ood. It is ouly in finel}' pulverized soil
ILat seeds can wilb ease send down their tender roots and receive the
nouisliment essential to their vigorous development. Hence the necessity
for tlKjiough ploughing as the first and most important process in
pulverization. Ploughing dune in the fall and winter has this great ad-
vantage, that it exposes the upturned soil to the action of frost, which is
the most powerful agent in crumbling down and pulveiizing the soil at
the same time destroying the roots of many weeds. The objects of
ploughing may be summed up as follows : To destroy existing vege-
tation ; lossen the soil and aid in preparing the seed-bed ; prepare the
lower portions of the soil for the better use of plants by exposure to
frost and atmospheric influences ; gradually deepen the productive sur-
face-soil ; cover fertilizing materials ; admit air and water an.ong the
roots of the plants.
The common plough is the instrament conmionly used in breaking up
the land, and is the most economical that can be employed. In passing
through the soil the plough separates and cuts off a slice of its surface,
cutting it both vertically and horizontally, turning it over in such a way
as to leave it exposed to the action of the harrow, which foll'>ws the
plougli and pulverizes the soil more completely. The furrow should be
deep, straight, and of such a width that the slice cut off may be turned
over or left on its edge a.s the ploughman may wish. It is best to deepen
the arable soil gradually by ploughing a'lout an inch or half an inch
deeper each time, till it is worlied deep enough, say from seven to twelve
inches, according to the crops it is designed to cultivate. If much of a
poor subsoil should be brought up to the surface at once, the farmer will
have to wait two, three, or four years before he obtains the good effects
of deep tillage. Deep ploughing has much the same effect as
thorough draining, though in a less degiee, and is espedally needed in
the cultivation of deep or tap-rooted plants, like carrots, parsnips and
ruta-bagas.
One important principle miist always be kept in view, that clay or
tenacious soil should never be ploughed when eilhor too wet o: too dry.
If ploughed .wet, clay soils will bake and their lertiliiy is injured for
j'ears. On wet, stiff soiis there is no rule more essential thiiu to open
them as early as possible, that they may have the full benefit ol the frost.
If left till spring the soils may be too wet for ploughing, or if the season
be dry the earth when turned up will be in clods very unfit for vegetation.
On farms having a pro] ortion of clay and light soils it is necessary that
the strong, wet land be ploughed first if the weather will allow.
In working keep your team as close to the plough as possible, the
plough perpendicular, and the furrow straight. A furrow seven inches
deep should be ten inches wide. Let the furrow or " land" be as long as
120 MISCELLANEOUS DEPABTMENT.
possible, lo avoid loss of time in turnin,!,^ Wherever practicable, plough
from the centre of the field. Keep your team moving at a regular pace.
SUBSOILING.
The subsoil plough is designed lo follow in the furrow of the common
plou.di, loosening ami breaking up the lower layers of the soil without
bringing ihcm to the surface. With this instrument it is easy lo loosen
the subsoil six or eight inches below the furrow left by the ordinary
plough, stirring the land lo a depth of twelve or eighteen inches. The
benctits of subsoil ploughing are very similar to those of deep ploughing,
enabling the roots of the plants to reach the nitrogen and other ferti-
lizing subslancce that exist deep below the surface, as also to get beneath
the reach of drought," while it permits air and rain to penetrate deeper.
On land well undcrdiaiued subsoiling has a beneficial effect; on land
that needs draining no permanent etfect is derived.
HARROWING.
The harrow is an ancient implement, its most common use being to
follow the plough, tc break down and mellow or pulverize the furrow-
slice, and 60 to prepare a fine seed-bed. It is also of material use in
clearing the ground of such weed as the plough has brought near the
surface, as well as in covering seeds sown broadcast. In fact, the har-
row is to the farmer much wliat the rake is totlte gardner. In preparing
a line surface it is necessary lo go over the grouiul several times ii\
different directions — that is, to cross-harrow repfeatedly. No specific
number of times can be indicated: the farmer must judge for himself
when the ground is l)rought to a sufticient fineness and cleanliness.
Tht- cull i valor may be regarded as a modification of the harrow, but in
som«' respects more efficient, because with its plough-shaped teeth it
lightens up and mellows the soil, instead of pressing it down hard, as the
harrow is apt lo do everywhere e.\cei)l on new, rough land. In culti-
vating hoed crops care is needed to avoid cutting the roots. In the early
(Stages of growtli cultivate as deeply, and late in the season as shallow,
a- pfiK^ibh — just deep enough to kill tlic weeds. When plants have

ROLLING AND CLOD-CRUSHING.
Amoug the principal uses of the roller are the followin2; : Bypassing it
43-i7er the land after ploughing it settles the furrows, so tnat they will not
^53 disturbed by the harrow ; it grinds to dust most of the clods on the
syiTtace; it presses down such stones as the harrow has exposed, thus
-preparing a smooth surface for the mower or reaper; if used in the
spring on winter grain, meadow, or pasture, it settles the frost-heaved
plant back in its place and compresses the soil about its roots. It is
often useful on newly-sown graiu. hastening the germination by pre-
-serving the moisture. The roller maj'' be used to advantage in the dri-
■tst weather, but when the soil is so wet as to pack instead of crumble
3t <loes more harm than good.
On compact clay soils, where the clods are often nearly as hard as
Ijiicks, a homemade clod-crusher is often more efflcient than the ordi-
.?sary roller.
MANURES. .
The term "manure" is applied to all substances added to the soil with
lite view of increasing its ability to produce vegetable growth. Chem-
*str)- teaches us that the food of all plants is very much alike, though
■scxcne classes must be supplied with certain substances in greater abun-
<dance than others. The great mass of all vegetables is resolved into
-sarbonic acid, water, and ammoni;i. But besides, these plants on being
turned leave lime, potash, soda, magnesia, silica, sulphates, and phos-
phates as ash. If any one of these elements is absolutel}^ wanting in the
•*>il, the plants to which tliat element is essential could not sprout there,
-aad If planted would pine and die of starvation. Plaster, for example,
3s essential to clpver. and clover-seed sown in a soil destitute of plaster
■would not come up, or if it were present in insufHcient quantity the
plant would be proportionally feeble and small. The same holds of
'^verj' plant, and the obvious remedy is to add artificially to the soil
tie nutritive elements in which it is deficient. It would plainly "tran-
-seend the scope of this paper to enumerate the various elements neces-
sary for the food of different plants and to describe their mode of action:
u'hat is the province of agricultural chemistry. We must limit ourselves
■TO the dii-ectly practical.
3Ianures may be classified in accordance'witli the way they act into
aiutritive, or those whose ingredients are taken up by the roots of the
plants and go to form part of their structure; solvents, or those which
*ive to water greater power to dissolve the plant-food contained in the
-soil; absorbents, or those which add to the power of the soil to absorb
the fertilizing parts of other manures, of rain- and snow-water, and of
-*ie air in the soil; mechanical, or those which improve the texture of the
•xnl, as clay on sandy or peaty soil, peat or sand on clayey soil: some-
times the last class of manures are termed amendments.
lt?'j >]ISCELLA]SEOUS DEPARTMENT.
Another division of ferlilizers is into inorganic or mineral, and organic
or vegetable and animal.
INORGANIC FERTILIZERS.
In tlieir general character inorganic fertilizers are both nmnures an^
amendment?. They nourish the plants and exert mechanical action up-
on the texture of the soil — its lightness, stiffness, couipaciness. The-
leading mineral fertilizers are lime, marl, plaster, woodashes, sulphates-
and other salts of ammonia, phosphates and superphosphateb of lirr.®^
salts of potash, etc., etc.
Lime amends a soil by dec(jmposing some of its ingredients, especially
all kinds of vegetable matter. It corrects acidity in organic matter, a32d
destroys weeds favored by such a condition of soil. It aids in the de*-
composition of certain salts whose bases form the food of plants. Ob,
certain lands the finer grasses do not grow till the ground has beexr
limed. It :s especially an important element in the clovers, tobacco,.
peas, and turnips. As has already been said, it is unequalled for quick-
ening a rich but dormant virgin soil into active energy. It may eitnez
be spread on the ground befoie ploughing and jjloughed in, or it may
be spread alter plpughing and harrowed in, or simply spread over pas-
ture and left on the surface. A hundred or two hundred bushels is '^
fair allowance, good land bearing a larger dose than poor, thin laud. JL
convenient way of spreading lime regularly is to divide your land by
furrows into checks resembling those of a checker-board, but froiSE
twenty to thirty feet square. You calculate how many of these checks-
are in an acre, and, having determined how many bushels you are going
to allow to an acre, you easily fix how much is to be placed in each of
the checks. This may be placed there in the lump and allowed to slake
by the action of the atmosphere, but it is better to cover it with earth, aa-
the slaking is more gradual and thorough. After being slaked it is easily
spread over its check with a shovel.
Marl is a mixture of lime and clay or lime and sa<ul. When exposed
to the atmosphere, it should crunjble easily, as its action is in proportiois
t(i its leadiness to mix perfectly with the soil. Though less energetic, it
lias all the itcrmancut effects of lime, and is very valuable as an amend-
menl. Clayey marl should be applied to sandy soils, and sandy marl tCf
clayey.
Plaster or gyps>im (often called jilasler of Paris; is a sulphate of lini&,.
iiud the valuable effects it produces on soils are owing to its supplying
them not onlj with lime, but with the important and sometimes essentiar.
element s\djihur. A good way of using plaster is to scatter it in the-
Bba]>e of the finest impalpable powder in the spring, just as vegetation
is beginning, wljile the dew of the morning or evening is on the plants,
so that It may stick. It ought not to be applied in rainy weather, Plas-

'iex thus applied is especially good for clover. It is used also for legnm-
iaous plants, and for corn, potatoes, and turnips, being put in with the
isceds or sprinkled on them after the first hoeing. It is also useful by
:axing the annnonia of the atmosphere and laying it up for the future
. 'ase of plants. As an absorbent of ammonia it is of high value in the
•stable and poultry-yards, acting as a deodorizes, while its value as a
Ifertili/.er is greatly enhanced. From one hundred to two hundred pounds
an acre is a dose.
Sulphate ot soda is s dd to be good for clover and other green crops,
sulphate of magnesia for these crops and potatoes.
A'<hes.—[\. has been often observed that on strewing wood-ashes on a
aneadow tliat has long been mown thousands of clover-plants make their
-appearance where none were visible beforj. Ashes are made up of
salts, as silicates, phosphates, sulphates, and carbonates. The carbon-
.^tes and sulphates of potash and soda are dissolved out by leaching.
The silicates, phosphates, and carbonates of lime and magnesia are in-
-soluble. Far the largest part of leached ashes is carbonate of lime, the
- -next being phosphate of lime or bone-dust.
Unleached ashes are of great value for Indian corn, turnips, beets, and
, potatoes, because of the amount of salts of potash they contain; for so
important is potash to these plants that they are called "potash plants."
The leached ashes have important effects when mixed in the compost -
iieap. Ashes of sea-coal and anthracite are an excellent top-dressing for
.^rass.
Potuhli. — Potash is of high value for an}" land in which it is deficient.
It is specialh' valuable for the plants already enumerated as "potash
plants," as well as for oats and cabbage. The cheapest way to get potasli
is to buy the German mineral kainit, of which potash constitutes 22 per
-sent. It costs at the port of import about $10 a ton.
Phosphot&s. — No salts are of greater value to the farmer than these.
Mineral phosphates are most readily got b}' dissolving, by means, of sul-
■phuric acid, the coprolites constituting the well-known South Carolina
-or Charleston lock. These dissolved coprolites contain from 8 to 14 per
•cent, available phosphoric acid and 2 to 3 per cent, potash. Tliis ma-
aiure is useful for every crop, phosphates giving Iioues their great value
as a manure. Acid phosphate can be had at Charleston for $15. o a ton.
Suit. — Common salt is of great value as a fertilizer, especially ^or cer-
tain plants, as asparagus. It is also good for wheat, making the straw
brighter, .s'tifFer, and stronger, and less liable to lodge. It not only en-
riches the soil but kills nearlj' all weeds, and must therefore l)e used
.Tith di>cretiori. In small proportions it is of value to all cultivated
•plants, besides rendering grass and clover more palatable to animals.
.Salt that has been used for curing meat or fish is cheaper and better tlian
T>ure salt.

ORGANIC MAXUKE\

which shall serve as a reservoir to hokl in readiness for plants all sorts^
of food necessary to their growth, especially a supply of carbonic acid^
ammonia, and watei-, -which three are the result of the decompositioB of
vegetable substances. Organic manures should therefore be employeiS.
in a condition favorable to decomposition, either in a fermented state em.
ready to enter into fermentation.
Organic manures are either vegetable, animal, or mixed. The rnsias.
purely vegetable maiuires are green ciops ploughed under, the best
plants for this being clover, lucerne, and sainfoin, vetches, buckwheat,
wild mustard, rye, Indian corn, turnip- and potato-tops, etc. For sandir
and light soil the best are the clovers, cabbages, rye, and Indian ccyi?.
turnip- and potato-tops; for clayey, stiff soils, beans and pease, vetches..,
clovers; but green crops are least suited for clay soils. For calcareo^iss;
soils that need no lime they are very useful, as also for dr}^ sandy soSs..
Green manuring is specially useful in places rennote from the hom'estead^.
where the expense of carriage of other manure would be considerable.-
The land for a green crop meant to be used as manure for wintsa;-
wheat and rye (for both of which it is suitable) should be ploughed dec-f;
in spring, and the seed sown so as to have the crop in full bloom &ix&.
ready to be ]jloughed under two or three weeks before the grain is to "hB-
sown. Tlie manure, with lime or plaster, should be ploughed in totS«.
depth of lour to six inches, and the wheat or rye sown just as decompe*-
sition begins.
When land is much infested with weeds two green crops may lac
grown the same season and ploughed down before the weeds are rips:.
This both cleans the land and enriches the soil. The mechanical textiir*
ol the soil is imjjroved by jjloughiug in a green crop, a tenacious soiE
being looseneil and made more friable, and coherence being given t©> a&
sandy soil.

ANIMAL MAN ORES.
These are the most powerful of all, on account of the great quantity
of nitrogen they contain. The nitrogen unites with hydrogen and forms
ammonia, and. this by further combination forms ammonical salts, which
are dissolved by water and carried to the n.ots of plants. The flesh of
'quadrupeds, fishes, etc. contains 50 per cent, carbon, 15 to 17 nitrogen,
besides sails of potash, soda, lime, and magnesia, and is therefore one of
the very best of manures. The best way to utilize dead carcasses for
manure is to put ihem in a hole two feet deep, cover with quicklime, a
layer of earth, then of plaster, and ag: in of earth. In a few weeks the
pit rpay be opened, the bones separated and used for manure, and thg
remaining mass turned over and mixed with earth, '"The body of a
dead horse," says Dana, "can convert twenty tons of peat into a madure
richer and more lasting than stable manure."
Hoofs, hair, feathers, skins, wool, and blood contain over 50 per cent,
carbon and from 13 to 18 nitrogen, besides salts of lime, etc. Made
into a compost they are e.xcellent for potatoes, turnips, hops, or for
meadow-land. Being slow of decomposition, their action may last seven
or eight years. Blood especially, containing 52 per cent, carbon, 17
nitrogen, besides phosphates, sulphates, and carbonates of potash, soda,
lime, etc., is, when made into compost, a valuable manure for light soils,
acting quickly, but soon carried away. It is good for spring crops and
garden vegetables.
Bones. — The employment of bones as a manure is o)ie of the greatest
improvements in modern agriculture. The chemical constituents of
bones are gelatin 33.30 per cent., phosphate of lime 50 to 60 per cent.,
besides carbonate of lime, phosphate of magnesia, soda, and chloride of
sodium (common salt). Bones are applied either simply reduced to small
fragments or a coarse powder called '-bone-dust," or dissolved by sul-
phuric acid. The etiect of the acid on bones is to reduce them to a pulpy
mass. The value of bones lies in their phosphates, as these salts are
largely removed from 1 .nd by the feeding of cattle and crops. If grass-
lands are sterile, it is easy to discover whether a deficiency ot phosphorus
is tiie cause by adding crushed or dissolved bone and watchingthe effect.
It is as an application for turnips that bones produce their most marked
results. The seed is small, with only a limited supply of phosphates
stored ui). Unless the roots n.eet a concentrated supply, the other ele-
ments of plant-food — carbonic acid, ammonia, water — cannot be assim-
ilated. Bone-dust may be applied at tue rate often to twelve hundred-
weight to the acre, and its efl'ects will be observed for several years.
The action of bones is accelerated by converting their phosphates into
super-phosphates by treating with sulphuric acid diluted with water.
The pasty mass may then be mi.xed with water in the proportion of one

coal, and thus applied, No artificial manure is to be so thoroughly re-
lied on as i)ure bone.
Mixed Manures, — Of all Ihefertilizevsat the disposal of the farmer,
none is to be compared in value to fiirmyard manure. "Without ma-
nure," says the French proverb, "there are no good fields; with plenty
of manure there are no poor ones." Other manures have great value for
particular purposes; this is useful for all. This is just what w6 should
expect. The concentrated essence of the nutritious elements of plants
forms the food of man and animals. All these valuable elements, ex-
cept the comparatively small portion which is converted into flesh or
milk, are returned to the manure-heap, or ought to be. Manure con-
sists not oiiiy oi luai pan. oi lue animal's food not assimilated and dis-
f.'.rded in the form of dung and urine, but also of the straw, cornstalks,
leaves, etc., used as bedding, as well as the waste food and litter from
the manger, feed-bo.x and rack. The richer the food upon "which stock
is fed, so much richer the manure produced. Thus stock fed upon stravp
have a very poor manure, while turnips, and especially oil. cake, add
largely to its value. Although farmyard manure is useful for all plants,
Uurc are .-iome to which it is more valua.l)le than others. Potatos and
beans :ire raised with best success with this manure. It also tends to
render 111 uds more adapted for carrying clovers, and many farmers ap-
iply it to lands to be sown out with gra.saes. As a top dressing for win-
er whi-at (see Whk.\t) it is of the highest value, protecting the tender
grain from l..e effects of severe Irost and enriching the land far more
permanently than any fertilizer sown along with the crop, save, it may
be, bones. Speaking generally, we may say cow and ox-manures are
more suitable for dry, light soils; that from the horse-stable for stiff, clay-
ey sdils; Uio.se Irom the jjenfold and the pig-stpe arc better fitted for
meadow-lands, as they often imi>art a disagreeable flavor to culinary-
vegetables. Poultry manure is by far the strongest of all, and must
therefore be u.sed with great caution, otherwise you run the risk of burn-
ing your eroj). It ought always to be largely mixed with earth or other
proper basis for a coinjiost.
The best materials for bedding horses and cattle are straw, leaves,
sedge, reeds, sawdust' and damngeil hay. Where these cannot be had,
then resource may be hau to turf, iojun, or even sand. When cattle are
fed in sheds ih(! whole surface should be covered with such substances.
The Blablos may be kept clean and sweet by Kpriiikling a little plast^er
on ilieir Hofirs once a day.
The main object in n-gard to manure should be that none of it, liquid
or Bolid, be lost or become less ellieienl than it ought to be. If it be left

exposed to the open air and suffered to be drenched with rain or i)arch-
■id up hy the. sun. a p;vc'dt proportion of the products will be washed
away or be volatilized. The best and most convenient arrangement is to
have the manure fall into a cellar under the stable. There is danger of
it heating here from the process of decomposition which immediately
nets in, anc! of its most valuable constituent, ammonia escaping. In a
cellar where the liquid manure is saved as carefully as the solid, and
into which a stream of water may be directed by a spout from the eaves,
this will ^arcely occur ; but if the smell of ammonia is perceived, then
a good plan is to cover the heap with a layer ot plaster or fresh garden-
soil or loam. In no case should the temperature be i>€rmitted to rise
above 100 degrees Fahr. If there is not a cellar below your stables, it
is wise economy to cover the heap with a roof and convey off the water
from the eaves.
Guano is largely vegetable in its substance, modified by the processes
it undergoes in the animal body. We class it, therefore, as a mixed
manure. It is the dropping.s of sea-fowls collected for innumerable
years on certain uninhabited islands on the coasts of Africa and Peiii.
in a climate not subject to rain, mingled large!}' with remains of feath-
ers, eggs, food and carcasses. In some places it accumulates to the
depth of sixty to eighty feet. Different specimens vary much in (juality.
The following may Ik; regarded as a sort of average analysis ot pure,
good guano ; Organic matter, containing nitrogen, 50 per cent : water,
11 ; phosphate of lime, 25; ammonia, phosphate ot magnesia, phosphate
and o.xalate of ammonia, 1"; .si'!dr/,'>.^ ii,..Llv.;- T.-v,;:: ciu^,:. < f Llic!.';, 1.
Tlie above analysis exhibits a strongly concentrated manure. As we
have indicated, it is above the medium, as much as 15 to 20 per cent of
sand alone being found in some specimens. Guano used to be largely
used for roots, gi-ains, and other cultivated crops, and as a top-di'essing
for grass. Before using it for the latter p'.npose it should be mixed
with twice its weight of fine earth, plaster, charcoal-dust, or ashes. The
proper dose is two hundred to four hundred pounds an acre, sown
broadcast and harrowed in or supplied in two dressings, the first imme-
diately upon the plants appearing, but so as not to come in contact with
them ; the other, from ten to fourteen days later, immediately before
rain or moist weathei. It t-an be used as liquid manure by dis.'^olving
four pounds in twelve gallons of water and letting it stand for twenty-
tour hour.•^ before using. The best guano - viz. that from the Peruvian
islands — is now becoming exhausted, and what is in the market is niuch
infericn- ; therefore its use is not nearly so general as formerly. Another
reason for its comparative disuse is the general i:>.pres.sion that guano
does nf)t enrich the soij, but by it.^ stimulating effects on the plants
leaves it rather poorer than before its application.

Useful Farm Recipes and Hints.
All excellent and economical paint tor rough vvoocUvork can be made
of nielled pitch, six i.ounds ; linseed oil, one pint ; and brickdust or
yellow ochre, one i)ound.
Lime inUtewash.—VlAce some freshly-burned quicklime in a
pail and pour on suflicient water to cover it (k the lime is fresh great
heat is given out) ; then add one pint of boiled linseed oil to each gallon
of wash. For cheapness any refuse fat, such as dripping, may be used
instead of the boiled oil. The whole should be thinned v^{h water.
Should colored wash be required, one pound of green vitriol added to every
two gallons of wash gives a very pleasing drab. The brush should not
be left in the lime-wash or the bristles will be destroyed.
Quicklime slaked with skimmed milk and afterward thinned with
water makes an excellent wash for outdoor walls, as it is not acted upon
by the weather.
Calcimine,— This is a substitute for whitewash and is used for nice
work. It is made of Paris white and glue sizing in this proportion ;
twenty pounds of Paris white to one pound of glue, dissolved in boiling
water. Dilute the mixture with water until it is oi a creamy thickness.
U hitewash. -Tdka half a bushel of unslaked hme and slake it with
boiling water. Cover it during the process. Strain it, and add a peck of
salt dissolved in warm wa'.er, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a
thin paste put in boiling hot, half a p und of Spanish whiting,
and a pound of clean glue dissolved in warm water. Mix it and let it
stand several days. Keep it in a kettle, and put it on hot as possible
witli a brush. It is .said to look as well and last nearly as 1 .ug as oil
jtaint on wood, brick, or stone.
A very siini)le wash may be made in the following manner : Slake as
above, and add to each pailful half a pint of ^ait and the same quantity
of wood-ashes sifted fine ; this makes it thick like cream, an I covers
smoke much better. Use hot. Coloring may be used if desired.
(Jhedjt ff'd'ih for liHildinffs— Take a clean water-light cask and
put into iialf a bushel of lime. Slake it by pouring water over it boiling
liol und in suflicient (piantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir briskly
until it is thoroughly slaked. When the lime has been slaked, dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds of s\ilphate of zinc and one of common
salt. These will cause the wash to harden and prevent its cracking,
which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. A beautiful cream-
color may be given to the wash by adding three pounds of yellow ochre,
or a good pearl-orlead-color by the aduition of a lump of iron-black
For fawn-color add four pounds of umber, one pound of Indian red, and

of houses iind to fences, it is rendered more durable by adding about a
pint of sweet milk to a gallon of wash.
Damaged Hay m-^y be rendered available by cutting into chaff and
dressing with molasses and water.
To Preserve JVoodeu Buildings. — Mix two parts of tar, one of
pitch, half ot resin; boil, and paint the wood when quite hot. Give
two coats, well sanding with the last.
Flooring for Pig-styes. — Take six parts of gravel, three of sand,
and one of cement ; mix dry, and tiien make into mortar. Spread three
inches thick over the ordinary floor.
Sulphuring Seed. — A safe plan in sowing any kin ! of seed is to
mix it with sulphur- about one pound to twelve pountls of seed. It
serves to impart vigor, and keeps away parasites. The sulphur may be
fearlessly mixed wiih the seed and sown with it.
To Destroy Caterpillars,— These are great pests in the garden,
devouring gooseberry and currant bushes, cabbages, etc. The best plan
is to mix up a quantity of turpentine and water to sprinkle the bushes
with. In order to make the turpentine mix well, some fine mould must
be mixed with it, and the water added to the required consistency. It
need not be very strong, but a fair sprinkling from a watering-pot with
a good rose on the spout will kid them or prevent them from doing
further damage. Tar- water is also said to be effective, and is excellent
for destroying green fly, wood lice, and ants.
To Destroy Potatoe-bugs. — Mix one pound of Paris green with
ten pounds of flour or whiting. The mixture suouid be siticU ou tlie
potato-hills while the vines are wet with due or rain.
To Destroy the Striped Dug on Cucumbers or Melons. —
Sift charcoal (lust over the plants tlircc or four times in succession, or
take a solution of one peck of iie;i-house maiuire to one and a half
gallons of water, and sprinkle the viues freely after sunset.
Por Killing Lice on cows, horses, and hogs the following appli-
cation is successful : Take the water in which potatoes have been boiled
and rub it over the skin of the animal to be treated. The lice will be
dead in two hours, and no further progeny appeaj*.
Shelters for Sheep— Slu^ep should have slielter to run under at all
seasons. They need it during the long cold rains of autumn fully as
much as any other animal on the farm does. They get soaked to the
skin during these long rains, and in that condition suffer great discom-
fort, which always tells on the flesli and general condition. Sheds for
this purpose are easily and cheaply constructed in the pasture or field if
it is not convenient to let them up to the stables.

The Sit n/ioH-ri'.— This plant is truly useful as well as ornamental.
The tiowcr^ contain a large quantity of honey and are most a' tractive to
bees, and tlie .seeds are much relished by poultry. The seeds yield a
large percLiitage of fine oil, wlnlc the leaves and cut stalks are reli.shcd
by cattle. The first fif)wers, just before full bloom, furnish a i)alatHbl('
dish for the table, resembling artichokes in flavor. The seeds ground
into flour make very good cakes, and if roasted furnish a drink not
mudi inferior to cocoa. Boiled in alum, they make a good blue color-
ing-matter. The leaf is u.scd as tobacco, the seed-pods made into blot-
'ing-l»ai)ei, and the plants, if grown in damp places — for they will grow
jiny where — are a protection against intermittent fever.

should be melted together, and nibbed into the leather when quite dry
before the (ire or in the hot sun.
To Uestroj/ Rati*. — The following is an effectual mixture : Melt
hog's lard in a bottle inimerseJ in water heated to about 150 deg. Fahr.;
then put in half an ounce of phosphorus for every pound of lard, and
add a pint of whiskey. Cork the bottle tight when the mixture has
been heated as hot as the water, and, taking it out of the water, shake
it well until a milky-looking liquid is formed. When the liquid cools
it will afford a solid compound of phosphorus and lard, from which the
spirits may be poured off and used again if needed. Warm the com-
pound a little and pour it into a mixture of wheat flour and sugar. This
dough, rolled into pellets, is to be laid in rat-holes. It will be found
as etHcacio'.s as any rat-poison sold.
yew /tc-f/.s, VIC. — To remove the disagreeable taste from new kegs,
churns, or other wooden vessels, first scald them with boiling water,
then dissolvf; some pearlash or soda in lukewarm water, adding a little
lime to it, and wash the inside of the vessel well with the solution ;
afterward scald it well with plain hot water before using.
A Good Disinfectant. — Permanganate of potassa in soluti'»n,
twenty-five grains to two quarts of water, is an excellent disinfectant ;
it can be used for removing odors in utensils or in rooms. It is excel-
lent for disinfecting mouldy barrels. Two or three tablespoonf uls of
the solution, added to a pint of water, will cleanse a cask or barrel,
which should be washed and rinsed out well.
Corn-cribs. — A corn-crib should be mounted on posts several feet
high, and these capped with inverted metal pans, in order to prtn-enl
depredations from rats and mice.
Protecting JToi'ses, — Sponging horses with a solution of a dram
of Persian insect-powder to a quart of water is said to be an effectual
remedy against the anno3^ance of flies and insects.
Advice on Sheep- raising. — In winter it is of prime importance
that sheep sliould have plenty ot rough feed in connection with their
green rations. Corn-fodder nicely cured stands at the head, being rel-
ished by the sheep and excellent in assisting the fattening process. The
corn used in fattening sheep dees not need the preparation necessar^^ for
cattle. One of the best rations for fattening is composed of three parts
of shelled corn, one part of wheat bran, with a little oil meal added.
This, fed in connection with fodder or clover ha}-, with a plentiful sup-
ply of pure water, gives excellent results.
Sheep can best be fattened at from one and a half to two years old.
Previous to this time the wool should pay a reasonable profit upon the
keeping. At this age sheep will take on more fat from the same
amount of feed, and the mutton be of better quality, than if held longer.
ins MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
The mutton market is most active from about the 1st of February until
the Isl of May, after this period the supply generally being full and
prices lower. Sheep fattened for the earl ■> market require more feed,
better shelter and care, but the price received generally pays for this
extra cost. Those turned into market during the summer or fall have
the advantage of green feed supplied at less cost than the dry.
If'efiiihtff PiffK. — In weaning pigs. saj'S an authority, there is soine-
thing more to be considered than simply taking them away from their
mother. They should be weaned gradually, so as not- to get any stunt
or setback. To take jiigs away from their mother and little home be-
fore tliey have been taught to eat gives them a check for at least two
weeks, and this is quite a little part of their lives if they are designed for
slaughter when thej' are six to eight months old. Feeding them in a
separate jilace to which they have access Avill accustom them to eating,
and when deprived of their mothers milk they will refuse to eat until
driven to it by hunger.
Jfow to Sharpen a Scythe, — Keei> the blade firmly upon the
grindstone, with the point drawn toward the body of the holder, at an
angle of about forty-tive degrees with the edge of the stone. Commence
to grind at the heel, and move it steadily along ^s the work progresses
until the point is reached ; then grind the other side in the same man-
ner. Never rub the scythe back and forth upon the stone, as though
fnde.-ivoring to whet it. The revolution of tin- stone will wear away
llie steel much better than rubbing it in lliis manner, by wliich the edge
is likely to be made round and to be set irrcguhirly. li is prefer ibli^ to
hold the scythe so that the slone will revolve toward the edge. In this
way the holder can see when the edge is renched, and the piirticles
ground off are carried away clean. In lh<! opi osite me-hod of grinding
lliere is risk of making a " feather edge" wliieh will rendily crumble
off and leave the seytlir almost or (piite as dull as betbre. The blade
8b<»uld be ground equally on both .sideB, In whetting the scythe lay the
rifli- or whetstone Hat against the hide of the blade, and give a light,
quick si roke <lownwaril and forward in the direction of the edge, so
that the seratclHs it makes shall keep (he poinis set in the; same direc-
tion as wiiH given rliem by grinding. liy following these simple sug-
gestions a scythe may be made to hold its edge twice as long as when
the rille or whetstone is drawn ;iloiig the edge almost at random. A few
strokes carefully taken will niiible the workman to keep the proper
dinction and whet rapidly.
yt Simple Moile „f Shinpeninff KiJije 7V;o?.s-.— Place the cut-
ling pait of the tool in water conlainiiig one-twentieth of its weight of
sulphuric or muriatic acid : after allowing it to remain there for half an
MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 133
wipe it gcutly ^ith a piece of soft rag. and in a few hours set it on au
ordinary strop. Tlie eflfect of the acid is to supply the place of the oil-
stone, but uniformly corroding the entire surtixce, so that nothing but a
good polish is afterward needed.
Care of the Gi'lndsfone.—A gritfdstone should not be exposed to
the weather, as it is not only injuiious to the woodwork, but the sun's
rays harden the stone so much as in time to render it useless. Neither
should the stone be allowed to stand in the water in which it runs, as the
part remaining in the water softens so much that it wears unequally, and
rhis is a common cause of grindstones becoming " out of tune."
Farm Bookkeepinrj.—^oWxmg conduces more powerfidly to the
protitable a id satsfactory results of any business or undertaking than a
regular and systematic jegistration of every pn-ceeding, from the exami-
nation of which a (dear and accurate knowledge can at any time be de-
rivetl of the state and progress ot the whole business. Farming Is com-
posed of three very cliief ingredients— labor, money and stock, live and
dead. Each of thee elements requires a distinct attention, and also the
branches into which the connections are dive ged ; each separate detail
implies a statement of its business and a review rendered of the success
or defalcation. Expenses of every kind must be exhibited in the weekly
and yearly arrangements ; outlays in money must be singly exposed, and
labor b}^ itself, so that the several items, being individually set to view,
are joined into a yearly aggregate. Grain crops must be seen in the
quantity and value, the disposal by sale and by domestic use. The ani-
mals that are kept for work demand a view of the number and trans-
actions among the sales nnd casualities, so that any protit or loss in that
department is seen by a single reference. The fattened animals are
singly kept in view, in order to show the income derived from each kind
of feasts that are reared. Sales must be registered, and an account will
show the debts outstanding at any perio.l of time. All minor occur-
rences are noted in a memorandum page and transferred to the standing
place when the nature of the affair reqiiires the position.
The books needed by a fiirmer are a diary, a day-book, and a ledger.
Another book will be convenient if an account is kept with each crop,
and with separate tields, but this method can hardly be recommended
for ordinary use. In the diary a record of each day's work and the
weather should be kept. Business transactions of all kind should bs
noted immediately. In regard to debiting and crediting Mr. Waring
gives the following rule : "When you let your neighbor or he with
whom you deal have anything from you, it is a charge against him, and
you must charije him with it on the debit side of the account ; but wheur
ever you receive anything from him it is a credit, and you must credit
him with it on th^ credit side of the account.' There are several books

prepared expressly for farm bookkeeping, and it is well that every farmer
should have one, for they will save much work by their conveuient
manner of arrangement. But, at any rate, every farmer should keep a
set of books. The cost of the books is but a trifle, and but little time is
needed to keep them.
The Common Ailments of the Horse.
This treatise has been compiled chiefly from Mayhew's excellent and
stand work, though other authorities have been consulted.
The causes of the various ailments arc given as well as their treatment,
for knowledge of the causes should lead to their avoidance. The ounce
of prevention is always better than the pound of cure. The ordinary
owner should only, attempt to deal with the less serious ailments that
afflict horseflesh ; when any threatening complications arise a veterinary
surgeon should be sunmioued. No surgical operations are des- ribed in
the pages that follow, because all such should be attempted only by per-
sons skilled in horse-surgery, and never by persons whose qualifications
are that they have read how an < peration should be performed. At the
end of tlie treatise on the 'Common Ailments of the Horse" will be
found the manner of preparing some excellent articles of diet for sick
hor.scs.
AdiiHnisferinffMediciiie— Medicine is generally administered to
a horse either by making it up in the form of a ball or by giving a
drench ; that is, giving the medicine in a liquid form, in which case a
dn-nching-liorn is used.
To Adininlster a lialL—'VuTu the animal round in the stall .so as
to bring his head to the light, making the least possible fuss or noise.
Stand on a stool on the off side ; gently put your hand in the horses
mouth and draw the tongue a little out ; place the fingers of the left
hand over the tongue, and keep it firmly in this position by pressure against
the jaw— not holding the tongue by itself, as a restless horse, by sudden-
ly drawing back or sideways while his tongue is tightly held, may
fieiiouslv injure himself. The ball should be oiled, that it may slip
down the throat easily. Take it between the tips of the fingers of the
right liand, and, making the hand as small as possible, pass the ball up
Die mouth by the roof to avoid injury of the teeth. When the ball is
landed well upon the root of the tongue, withdraw the rigiit hand, and
EB Boon as it is out of the mouth release the tongue, which will help the
ball down. Have a warm drink ready to give just after the ball is take^ .
7V> fih^r it Diwncli. — Turn the animal as in giving a ball. The
drenchiiig-horn is best made of a cow's horn, the larger end of which is
stopped uj). A glass bottle should never be used. Pour in .the liquid at
the narrow end of the horn, the circular mouth of which should be an
Inch in diameter. The operator should have an assistant ; both should

be tall or else should stand on firm stools. The assistant should raise
the horse's head till his mouth is above the level of his forehead, and
keep it steadily in that position while the drench is being given. The
operator, standing on the off side and taking the wide end of the horn in
his right hand, can steady and assist himself by holding the upper jaw
with his left, and leaving the tongue at liberty, he discharges the drench
below the root of the tongue if possible The drenching-horn should
always be cleaned after use.
The horse's pulse is easily found by placing the two forefingers under
the middle of the horse's jowl or cheek-bone. A horse's pulse when in
good condition beats from about thirty-two to thirty-eight pulsations
per minute. The smaller the horse the faster is his pulse.
Hog Spavin.— This, caused by brutality of some kind — by abuse of
the whip, spur, or bit, which causes repeated shocks to the limb. It re-
sembles wind-galls, though situated in a different locality, and is also
liable to the same changes. It is evidenced by a puffy swelling at the
front and at the upper part of the hock. Rest and a little sweating
blister or pressure maintained by means of an India-rubber bandage are
perhaps the best tieatment.
Hots. — A horse is liable to be troubled with the e parasites after
having been turned out to graze in summer. These pests are the
progeny of the gadti\', wliich hovers around horses while out at grass in
summer and alights, and deposits its eggs on the hair of the horse, especi-
ally about the shoulders and fore legs. The horse licks off the eggs and
swallows them, when thelarve stick to the coats of the stomach, and are
known as hots. These ultimately release their grasp and are ejected
naturally, but during tlie months that they remain in the stomach they
often impair digestion and appetite and occasion much weakness.
Whenever a horse is running at grass his skin should be scanned
carefullj' once a day, and the eggs of these gaaflies, if found, should be
washed off with hot water and washing soda. Occasional diarrhoea,
capricious appetite, and loss of flesh are indications of bots, or they are
often passed in the dung. There is no remedy for bots. In the course
of a year the parasites will be ejected naturally.
Broken Wind. — Broken wind is a disorder of slow growth, and may
be caused by any abuse ; it is often the result of carelesness in feeding and
exercise. The h'U'se is allowed lo eat too much hay or straw, or food of
gi'eat bulk containing little nutriment, and the lungs are squeezed into
less than the natural compass. If \he horse be suddenly exercised more
blood must be purified, and as a consequence some of the cells give way
and broken wind is established ; old age, prolonged work, and bad food
are its usual generators. Its symiitoms are a short, dry, hacking cough,
greedy appetite, insatiable thirst, and abundant flatus. The food is but
136 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
half digested, the belly is ptiidulous, the coat ragged, and the :i.s]iecl de-
jected. Respiration is performed by a triple effort ; inspiration is
spasmodic and single ; expiration is labored and double.
Prevention is easy for broken wind, but cure is impossible. The
utmost that can be done is to relieve the distress. Water should never
be given except at stated times, and never immediately befoie work.
Four half-pails may be allowed per diem— one the first thing in the
morning, another the last thing at night, and the other two at convenient
times during the day. In every drink of water it is likewise well to
mingle half an ounce of dilute phosporic acid or half a druehm of ililule
sulphuric acid.
Allow oats and beans, five feeds each day, Avith only five pounds of
liay— two pounds in the morning when eing dressed, and the remainder
in the rack at night. Crush the oats and beans ; thoroughly damp all
the food before it is presented to the horse, and also scald the corn.
Remove all bed by day, and muzzle when littered down for the night..
Place a lump of rock-salt at one end of the manger, and at the^ other put
a block of chalk.
A horse afllicted with broken wind should never be pushed hard oi'
called upon for any extraordinary exertion, otherwise death may
speedily ensue.
So much for the alleviation of the disease after it has been contracted;
may be well to give a few directions for the ounce of prevention or how
to avoid this scourge ; (1) Never drive the horse from the shelter of the
stable to the exposure of the field. (2) Never turn the steed which has

horse's windpipe, that when tlie slighest change of noise indicates the
smallest change of structure you may be prepared to recognize and to
meet the enemy before disease has had time to fix upon the membrane.
Cold. — A mild cold, with care, is readily alleviated. A few mashes,
a little green food, an extra rug, and a day or two of rest will generally
cure a mild cold. Wlicn the attack is more severe the horse is dull ;
the coat is rough ; tlie body is of unequal temperature, hot in parts, in
places icy cold. The membrane of the nose at first is dry and pale or
lead-colr)red ; the facial sinuses are clogged ; the appetite has fled ; often
tears trickle from the eyes, and a di.scliarge from the nose appears.
Treat tH4'nt. — The horse should be comlortably and warmly housed,
should have an ample bed, and the body should be plentifully clothed.
MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 137
A hair-bag, half a*^ long and half as wide again as the ordinary nose-bag.
should be buckled b}- a broad strap upon tlie horse's head ; into this bag
should bo previously inserted one gallon of yellow deal sawdust ; upon
the sawdust, through an opening guarded with a flap on the side ot the
big. should beemptied a kettle of boiling water, tbe superfluity of which
may run or drain through the hair composing the bag.
The boiling water should be renewed every twenty minutes, and tlie
bag should be retained upon the head for an hour each time. Should
yellow deal sawdust be not obtainable, some of common deal will do,
upon which pour an ounce of spirits of turpentine. Mix well and thor-
oughly before applying tlie i'ag to the head. If tiie horse is weak p.nd
the weight of the bag taxes his strength place the bag upon a chair or
stool.
While tlie membrane is dry use the .steaming bag .six times daily.
When a copious stream of pus flows from the nose, its application three
times daily will be sufficient. The food should consLst of gras.? with
mashes, to regulate the bowels and subdue the attendant fever. Ko
medit^ne should be given, but, the discharge being established, three
daily feeds of crushed and scalded oats, with a few broken beans added
to them, will do no harm Should the weakness be great a couple of
pots of stout — one pot at night and the other at morning — will be bene-
ficial. Good nursing, a loose box, fresh air, warmth, and not even ex-
ereise till the disorder abates, are also to be commended. Afterward
take to full work with caution as much debility is apt to ensue upon
severe cold. A cold often ushers in other and more dangerous diseases.
The original ailment should then be disregarded, and those measures
should be taken requisite to relieve the more important affection.
Colk. — Spasmodic colic, fret, gripes are names for the same illness.
Spasmodic colic is caused by fast driving, change of water, change of
food, getting wet, fatigueing journeys, aloes, or often no cau.se can be
traced.
Symptoms. — First stage : While tiie horse is feeding he brtiomes un-
ea.sy and ceases to eat ; his hind foot is raised to strike the belly ; lore
foot paws the pavement ; the nose is turned toward the flank, and an
uttack of fret is recognized. Second stage : While the hor.<-e is being
watched every indication of disturbance may disappear. His coun'en-
ance grows tranc[uil, and the nose is again inserted in the manger ; bit
in a few minutes the pangs are renewed. The animal has thus alternate
fits of pain and then ease, but the intervals of freedom from pain grow
shorter, while the attacks grow longer; the horse crouches, turns
round, then becomes erect ; pawing and striking at the abdomen quick-
ly follow ; a morbia fire lights up his eyes. Third stage: If no relief is
afforded, the pains go on lengthening, while the intervals of tranquilit}-
become shorter ; action becomes more wild ; often one foot stamps on

the oTound : the animal does not feed, but stares at the abdomen ; at
length without warninii;, he leaps up and falls violently on the floor ;
veems relieved; rolls about till one leg rests against the wall; should
no assistance be now^ afforded the worst consequei ces may ensue.
7rm<?nc?i<.— Place, if possible, in a loose box, guarded by trusses of
straw ranged against the walls. Give one ounce each of sulphuric ether
and of laudanum in a pint of cold water, and repeat the dose every ten
minutes if the symptoms do not abate. If no improvement be observed
double the active agents, and at the periods stated perseverL- with the
medicine, A pint of turpentine, dissolved in a quart of ^olution of soap
as an enema, has done good. If after this the horse's condition does
not improve, dilute some strong liquor ammonia with six times its bulk
of water, and, saturating a cloth with the fluid, hold it by means of a
norsc-rug close to the abdomen. It is a blister, but its action must be
watched or it may dissolve the skin. If, after all, the symptoms continue
there must be more than simple colic to contend with, and a veterinary
surgeon had better be summoned. ^
Flauleni or Windy Colic sometimes arises from gorging on green foo^,
but the more common cause is impaired digestion consequent upon
severe labor and old age. It is evidenced by uneasiness after feeding,
hanging of the head, laborious breathing; the belly begins to swell and
the animal paws, but mon^ slowly and inertly than in spasmodic colic ;
the eye is sleepy, and wind passes frequently from the '>ody. When
sucli a case occurs a veterinary surgeon should be sent for at once ;
meanwhile a ball composed of two drachms of sulphuret of auunonia,
with a ^ufliciency of extract of gentian and powd'^red quassia, may be
admin'stered, and be repeated for two consecutive h df hours should
the surgeon no: yet have appi^ared.
Corns.- Corns generally result from imperfect shoeing. The shoe i
fither too tight or il is nsiiled too near the heel. The sole should be
kept well pared and dressed with tar. Should the corns suppurate, hot
linseed poultice should lie appli(,'d, and the horse be allowed to rest.
Corns must often be treated with tlie knife.
Cracked Iketf<.— This allection is generally caused by cutting the hair
from the heels or by wet, iiiiid, neglect of cleanliness, or sometimos by
too little work and over-feed : it is g-nerally peculiar to the cold and
wet months of the year. Tiie animal should rest, at all events until the
pints are improved. The heels should be washed with tepid water and
mild soap, and thoroughly dried ; tiien the following wash should be
applied :
Animal glycerine i pint
Cliloride of /.inc '2 drachms.
Htrong solution of oak bark 1 i)int.
Dissolve the xinc in water, then mix, and use thrice daily.
MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 139
If sloughing and ulceration have set in, the animal should be allowed
complete rest, and not be taken out even for exercise until the ulcera-
tion is arrested. A few bran mashes or a little cut grass should be
given to open the bowels, and the following should be applied to the
he -Is ;
Aiiimalglycerin or phosphonc acid 2 ounces.
Permanganate of potash or creasote i ounce.
Water 2 ounces.
]\Iix, and apply six times daily.
When the ulceration is arrested the first recipe should be again re-
sorted to, and the latter one discarded. A drink each night of the fol-
lowing mixture should be given :
Liquor arsenicalis ^ ounce.
Tincture ot the muriate of iron 1 ounce.
Water | pint.
This acts directly upon the skin, and is an excellent tonic for the general
system.
In all affections whatever of the legs, where the skin is broken, the
ground on which the horse stands must be kept free from his evacua-
tions and as dry and warm as possible.
Crib-Biting. — This habit, which one horse seems often to acquire
from another, is often occasioned by bad ventilation, by indigestion, and
sometimes by sameness of food. To cure it, the ventilation ot the stable
should be the first thing attended to. Place a lump of rock-salt in the
manger ; if that is not successful, add a lump of chalk If these means
are unavailing, alwnys dampen the food, and at time of feeding sprinkle
magnesia u]ion it. and mingle a hamlful of ground oak-bark with each
feed of corn. Sometimes the habit may be broken by placing a piece of
sheep-skin over the manger and sprinkling it with pepper.
Curb. — Curb consists of an enlargement, or gradual bulging out, of
the posterior of the hock ; it is accompanied by heat and pain, and often
by lameness. It is caused by galloping on uneven ground, wrenching
the limb, prancing, etc. It is a great mistake to blister the horse as soon
as a curb appears, which is often done, but results always in harm. Tha
horse should have a high-heeled shoe put upon him at once. The part
should then be kept constantly wet with cold water to lower the in-
flammation. A cloth doubled two or three times is easily kept upon the
hock by means of an Indian-rubber bandage. This cloth is to be kept
cool and wet. The animal 'should be kept quiet under this treatment
until the heat and swelling are diminished and the leg is almost sound ;
then a blister should be rubbed all over the joint.
Coufjh. — Cough is a symptom of many and very diverse forms of
disease. It may arise from a trivial cause, or it may be the attendant of
some of the worst forms of disease that horseflesh is heir to. Broken wind

attendetl by cough, which is more frequently present as a symptom thars
a disease. Cougli as a distinct alTection is fre(juenlly caus*'(l by un-
healthy lodging : hot stables, coarse and dusty provender, rank bedding,
and irregular work are its general provocatives
To cure a chronic cough care must be taken, in tiit- tirst i>)ace, that
the stable air is pure. The human nose is a good test of atmosphere ;
the stable should not smell of horses nor of any taint whatever. If the
veutilaiion is good, the drainage clear, and the bedding clean, thu interi-
or ot the stable will be odorless. Indeed the stable should always be in
this condition be the hor.se sick or well. The oats given to a horse with
chronic cougli should be .scalded and crushed, the bay should be damp-
ened, and thin gruel or lin.seed tea should be given for drink. The horse
should be clothed warmly, and given a half a pint of the following mix-
ture in a tumbler of cold water three times dailj' :
Extract of belladonna, rubbed down in a pint of water I drab'.
Tincture of squills 10 ounces.
Tincture of ipecacuanha 8 ounces.

l>it<ti'm}U'i' (Strangles). — This form of sore tliroat is characterized
by swelling between the bones of the lower jaw, which terminates in
an abscess.
Cauxe. — A specific poison in the blood, which but few lior.-cs escape.
1 refitment. — The opinions of dllTerent veterinarians vary in regard to
the treatment, some recommending poultices, while others forbid it,
etc., but the following i)lan is undoubtedly as good one as any :
Give gras< or soft feed, and proe\ire a good powder. If thought best
'to do anything to hasten the suj)i)nration, apply warm jioiiltices, or
some like blistering. The appetite will return when tlie abscess breaks
or is opened.
J-]piz<ntti4'. — This di.sease attacks many animals at the same time, and
originates in one common cause; but just what this cause may be, it is
very difllcult to ascertain ; yet it is evident that ii is from a mia.smatic
influence, which has a tendency to spread rapidly over the country.
Symptoum. — The attack is abrupt. There is debility, stupor, eyes
half-closed, disinclination to move, cracking joints, aeticieut appetite.

rough, limbs :md ears are alternately hot and cold.
Soon there is a discharge from the nose of white, yellowish, or green
ish matter, and the liorse niav recovei', T)r complications may arise which
are liable to cause death.
Treatment. — Give the horse a good comfortable place, with good care,
and a good warm blanket. Give bran mashes and other proper nourish
ment, and then give some g<»od powders, and continue their use freely
until the horse i^ fully convalescent.
Cautian. — Do not leave liorses sick with this disease without auy
extra care, or without proper medical treatment, for two reasons: first,
it is cruel and irdunuan ; and second, it is not profitable; for the ca.ses
which arc left to themselves are very liable to have some complications
arise which will either cause death or leave the horse in bad condition,
from which he may not recover for a long time, and perhap-^ never.
IHarrhii'd — Diairha'a is evidenced by the frequent passage 'of watery
stools. Itds caused by acrid matter in the intestines, over-succulent
food, too much water, clirmge of dry to succulent food, wor.dug in the
hot sun. mental excitement as seen at the covertsidr-, an overdraught of
cold water whilst h<;Mled.
JrejUinent. — As tlir bowel movements are very active during waking
hours, and still more sd during exertion, whilst during rest, and especial
ly during sleep, their movenients are least, care should be taken to keep
the hors ■ (piiet and in as drowsy a state as possible. All coarse succu-
lent food, such as the grren food of summer, should be avoided, and
small (piantities of good sound hay, well-made grnel, saiallmalt mashes
mixed with a handl'ul of oats only, should be fed to the horse. • The
following is an excellent remedy fur diarih(ea:
Haw lin.seed oil ]<) omices.
Oil ot turpentine 2 ounces.
Tincture of opium (laudanum) 1 ounce
Shake well together and give as a draught.
Some horses are subject to repeated attacks of diarrhu3a. In them
the bowels are 'ver-sensative, and they are extremely dificult to keep in
condition. Dieting is the only thing for tliem.
Founder (Laminitis): — This disease is intlanunation of the sensitive
lamina' of the fooi. of wiiich there are two kinds, acute and chronic, the
latter U^iiig a continuation of the former. The acute form is invariably
cured, if properly treated, but the chronic f<^rm is generally considered
incurable; it can be relieved very much, but the feet are always after-
wards sore and tender in front.
Cause. — Allowing to drink cold water, when overheated and tired
142 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
Irom overwork, standing in the cold air (or where the wind will strike
the horse) while warm, driving through a stream of water while warm,
long and hard drives ovei' dry roads, etc.
Symptomtt. — The horse will stand upon his heels, with fore feet and
legs stretched out as far as he can get them, so as to throw the weight
off as much as jiossible; and he can scarcely be made to move. The
horse has fever and considerable constitutional disturbance, in the acute
form of the disease.
Trmiment {of a^ntU founder). — Give the horse a good bedding of straw,
in a large, well-ventilated stall, so as to encourge him to lie down,
wliich, by removing the weight from the inflamed parts, will relieve his
suflferings very much, and assist in hastening the cure. As soon as his
bed is fixed, give him twenty drops of the tincture of aconite root in a
half-pint of cold water, poured into his mouth with a bottle, haVing a
strong neck and repeat this dose every four hours until six or eight
do'^es have been given. Also apply a cloth wet in ice water to the feel,
and keep wet with the same for several hours, until the severe pain has
been relieved. Wet the cloths often, and continue for two or three
days, or longer if necessary. Give plenty of cold water to drink. The
above tr<Mtment siiould be adopted as soon as possible after the horse
has been attacked with founder. Let the horse have rest until he has
fully recovered. Give grass or mashes for two or three days, and then
give a good and fair amount of feed.
fr/rtm/^j'.x.— This disease is usually occasioned by vitiated aii'— thai
is, by bad stabling— stimulating food, and excessive work operating
ujion the young horse. Youth and high feeding, together with excessive
labor and damp lodging, will certainly ]jroduce glanders. Age, slarva-
lion, and ceaseless toil generally induce farcy. The glanders and the
farcy are however, oiif .inii the same disease, modified >)y the cause
wliich originates tlieiii. Ol.-uidt'rs is the more vigorous form of the
disorder; farcy is liie slow type, fastening ujum general di^bility.
Glanders is highly infectious and may be conunuuicaled hen-ditarily.
When glanders exist a staring coat generally shows the skin U) b«
affected; the a])petite is l)ad and the pulse is quickened. A mash or twoi
however, seems to set things all right, and the matter is forgotten.
Soon afterward a slight discharge may issue from one nostril, but it is
8o very slight that it excites no ah'rm. One of the lymphatic glands on
the same side as the moist nostril alters in character. It may remain
loose and become morbidly sensitive. Usually, however, it grows
adherent to the jaw, turns hard, iiih! from J)fing wholly imperceptible
in the healthy aniniiil tidarges to about the size of half a chestnut. At
Ji later inriod the discharge, retaining its clear appearance, bocomes
in'»rf con8i>»tont, and to a slight degree the hain* and pai-t$ over whisU it.

flows are fcucrusted. It subsequently adheres to the margiu of the
nostril, and then in the tnuisparenl aJbuminous fluid may be seen
opaque threads of white mucus. This marks the second stage. The
next change takes place more rapidly. The transparent fluid en-
tirely disappears, and in its place is seen a full stream of un-
wholesome pus. At this time there is some danger of glanders
being mistaken for nasal gleet. A little attention will enable a
person, Ixovvever, to distinguish these diseases. The smell of glanders is
peculiar. It is less pungent, but more unwholesome, suggesting a more
deep .seated source, than chaiacterizes the disease with which it has
b<!en confounded. The ejection of glanders mucus is obviously impure,
whereas that of nasal gleet generally flows forth in a fetid stream of
thick and creamy matter.
When the third stage is witnessed the disc .se is rapidly hurrying to
its termination. The membrane of the nose changes to a dull leaden
color. The margins of the nostrils become dropsical, and every breath
is drawn with difficulty. The defluxion exhibits discoloration. Scabs,
masses of bone or pieces of membrane mingled with patches of blood
next inake their appearance, and the internal parts are evidently broken
up t<y the violence of the disorder.
When a horse is suspected of being affected with glanders he should
be examined in the following manner : The animal's head should be
turned toward the strongest light obtainable ; if toward the blaze of the
noonday suu, so much the better. The examiner should then place hhn-
self by the side of the creature's head not in front, but in a situation
where, though the animal should snort, he is in no danger of the ejected
matter falling upon him. With one hand the upper and outer rim of
tile nostril .-should be raised ; when grasping this part between the finger
and thumb no fear need be entertained. The case would be something
more than suspicious were any risk of contamination incurred. The
wing of the nostiil being raised, the examiner must note the appearances
exposed; this he will best do by knowin^ where to look and what to
expect. His eye has nothing to do with the skin nor with the marks
that appear upon it The opening of the lachrymal duct often chal-
lenges observation by being well defined and particularly conspicuous;
but that natural development does not concern him ; to that no atten-
tion must be given. The attention must be concentrated upon the
membrane more internally situated than the skin seen at the commence-
ment of the nostrils. The skin, moreover, suddenly ceases, and is
obviously defined by a well-marked margin ; there is, therefore, no difii-
culty in distinguishing the membrane by its fleshy and moistened aspect,
afi well as by its situation. It on this membrane any irregular or ragged
patches are qeaspicuoun, if these patches are darker toward their edges

t.liaii in llicir fcnlrcs, and if Uk^v ncvcrlheless seem sliallow, pallid
moist, and sore, llic animal miiy hv rejected as glandered. Sliould any
part ot the membrane, after being wiped witii a piece of tow or anytliing
soft wrapped round a small stick, seem rough nr have evidently beneath
its surface certain round or oval-shaped bodies, the horse is assuredly
glandered. The membrane; maV present a worm-eaten appearance or be
siniplv of a discolored and heavy hue. In the tirst case the animal
ought lo be eondenuled; in the second it is open to more than suspicion.
No animal should be permitted to perish slowly of glanders. The
di.sease as it proceeds all'ects the fauces, pharynx, and Iwrnyx ; all be-
come ulcerated; the obstruction olfercd to breathing grows more and
more painful. P^arcy breaks foi'th, and as a consecpieuce superiieiai
dropsy is aihled to the other torments. The edges of the nostrils en-
large, tlie merabrant! lining the cavities bags out, while the lances and
larnyx contract ; the dischaige becomes more copious, and the breathing
is impeded. Ulti alely hd)orious breathing induces congestion f>f the
brain, and the animal dies of suffocation.
Theie is no cure foi glandi'rs. The disease has been described at
some length only thai it maybe known and distinguished; so that a
person about to | mi chase a Iiorse maj^ avoid buying one which shows
evidi-nce of this terrible disease ; and also that when an owner once fully
recognizes the ili.sease in his horse, he may kill it at once. Glanders may
be comnuuiicated to human beings, so that besides the cruelty of allow-
ing an ainmal to slowly die in fearfid torture it is absolutely unsafe lo
have a glenilered hor.se about.
irnle-liotiml. — Neglect, hard living, exposure to cold and wet are
the usual cau.ses of thi^ (list ii-ss. Ld)eral food, clean lodging, soft bed,
heahhy exercise, ami g('t)d grouming are iiecc.>,saj.> for the cuie of hide-

small poitioii of lK>in. If I he scat of ihe injury is ascertained, always
soak tlie f()f>t in waim water before perniittinsj the final use of the knife.
Tlie water should i)e al 70 deg. Fahr. when the foot is immer-ed, and
tlien gradually raised to 1)0 (leg., at which temperature it should be
mninlained. Tiie water clean-es the part, favors the discharge of pus,
lessens the inflanunjilory action, softens the anguish, and destroj'S the
harsh character of the dry horn, Aviiich cuts much more easily when
newly released from the bath.
Lnrvm in the Skin. — Larvfp in the skin, like the bots, are caught
v\hile out at grass. Tiie flies lay their eggs in the horse's hair ; these
are hatched, and the larva enters the skin. The next summer an ab-
sciss appears, in the centre of which is the insect. The best treatment
is to open the abscess with a lancet, and then with finger and thumb
applied on either side of the swelling squeeze out the larva. The
aliscess lapidly disappears, and to close tlie wound it only requires a
few dabbings with a lotion made of chloride of zinc, one grain; water,
ne ou ce.
Lice, fleas, and ticks may i)e got rid of by sponging the animal night
and morning witii a lotion composed of one part of carbolic acid to
twenty o! w ter. Care should be taken to wash all clothing worn
duiing the affection, and then bake it Tu an oven heated to at least
\~)0 deg. Fahr. Harness, brushe-s, etc., and everything that has come
in contact with the si^in, should be waslied with a vermicide. Hen-
roosts, pigeon-houses-, etc., should not be allowed in the immediate
vicinity of the stable, as fretiuently the lice which infest the stable come
from the chicken-liouse. After treating a horse affected with lice look
for other diseases, as hidebound, mange, etc.
jl/cmr/t'.— InsutFicieut food, bad lodging, no grooming, and often
turning out to grass are the causes of mange. This disease is highly
contagious, and is due to small insects burrowing beneath the scurf
ski I It is evidenced by scurf about the hairs of the mane ; thv hair
falls off ill patches; soros and crusts appear; and the horse rubs his
body against posts, etc. The principles of treatment consist in remov-
ing the sciuf skill, oi- as much of it as possible, and then applying a
ftressing wiiich will kill the insects. The horse, if the weather permits,
should be placed in the sun for an iiour, or in some warai unoccupied
place if the weather is cold, and its coat should then be thoroughly
whisked to remove scurf and incrustations; after this the following
ointment should be rulibeu all over the skin from the tip of the nose to
the point of the tail .

whisk as direeicd before, and repeat the anointini>- and washing as

Anything which has come in contact with a mangy horse must be
cleansed before it is applied to any other horse or to the same horse
after he is cured. Heat, of an oven raised to l^^^) deg. is the best means

should l)i' well washed with carbolic soap or with carbolic acid ai.d

Poll Kvll. — Poll evil is a disease mi>8t common among agricultural
horses. It consists of a deep abocess situated uij,on the upper part i,f
the neck, at its junction with the head ; this abscess ends in an ulcerous
sore which has numerous sinuses. The cause of p«)ll evil is external
injury of some sort, as blows upon the poll while going imder a 1 w
dooi-\vay, and also blows from heavj 'whip-shafls often administered by
brutal and careless drivers, or chafing of collars, especially during an
irritable ctmdition of the skin.
'IMie animal gives evidence of this disease by carrying his head very
.steadily and poking his nose wut. The eidargement, heat, and tender-
ness on i)ressure ai«; obvious when the abscess is ripening. The an-
guish attendant upon the earlier stages of this disease is evidenced by
the length of lime the horse takes to empty his manger. When forced
to bend his head toward the manger, he generally hangs back to the
length of the halter. .Vt this stage nothing is^ apparent, and the collar
is often forced ov(m- the iK^arl regardless of the struggles of the diseased
animal: the most caritfiil inspection often fails to detect an indication
of probable enlargennuit. Pressure or enforced molitm of the head ex-
cites resistHnce. In .some cases the enlargement becomes prominent in a
few weeks; in utlicrs it is never well developed: the latter cases are
most dillienlt to treat, foi' in them the disorder is most deeply ^ealevi.
In cxaininiug for susjtccled poll evil place the fingers lightly on the
part, and let them remain there milil the fear excited by a touch upon a
lender place has subsided. Then, and not till then, gradually introduce
presstire. The more superlicial the injury the more spe(Hly will be the
r<!H|ii)iise. In any case, little good can be accomplished by mild applica-
tions of lomentatious oi- poultices. The seat of the supposed hurt
shoidd be lightly ijainted with spirituous or acetous tincture of cantha-
iider>; this should be done daily until copious irritation is produced, and
before that dies away repeat the dressing. The soreness should be kept

up, but no more. The tincture should not he applied upon active vesi-
cation, otherwi'^e a foul sore maj' result. The poll should be made
painful merel.y. The liead should be kept perfectly quiet.
As soon as the swelliiiii- appears, watch it attentively, and wlien some
particular spot points or is softer or more piominent than the surround-
ing substance, call in the aid of a surgeon, for the knife uuist be used,
and used skilfully. After tlie operation rub the sides of the wound with
lunar caustic. The sore should be thoroughly moistened with solution
of chloride of zinc, one grain to an ounce of water, and a rag dipped in
a solution of tar should be placed over the wound. After recovery &
collar should not be used ; a breast-strap is far preferable.
Prick of the Foot. — When shoeing horses a blacksmith will often
drive a nail efther loo near the quick or actually into it, or a nail </
some sharp-pointed body may pierce the foot while the horse is travel-
ing. When this is suspected from the horse showing lameness, the foot
sliould be squeezed between pincers : then the nails from the shoe
should be drawn one by one, and examined carefully as each is removed.
If one ap]jears moist or wet. the hole of that nail should be freely
opened. Let the shoe be replaced, leaving that nail out. Pnt a little
tow covered with tar ovei- the wound, and shoe with leather. If lame-
ness i-; still present, a v(-trrinary svu'geon had better be consulted.
Jthu/b'Hie. — Ringbone somewhat resembles splin' and spavin : these
latter, however, generally occur in horses of speed, while the former is
almost contined to the cart-horse. It is cau.sed by the violent efforts the
animal makes in dragging a heavy load up ;i steep hill. It is evidenced
bv roughness of haii on the pastern and a bulging forth of the hoof; a
"want of power lo Hex the pa.slein ; an innbility to bring the sole to the
g)-onnil upon any but an even surface ; and general loss of power.
When a horse shows ringbone seek to allay the pain. Apply poultices
U])on which one drachm of powdered opium and one of camphor has
been .sprinkled. Ruli the disea.sed part with (?qual parts ol oil of cam-
phor and of chlordorni. When tlie psdn has ceased, aj>ply with friction
to the seat of the enlargement and aiound it »<ome of the following oint-
ment night and moniing :
Iodide of lead 1 ounce.
Lard 8 ounces. Mix.
Continue treatment for a forinigiit after all active s3'mptoms liave
disappeared, and allow liberal Ibod and rest. When work is resumed
let it be gentle at. first, and be very careful how the horse goes to liis fidl
labor.

Sore Thrrtaf.^-Sore throat is frequently a sign of some graver dis-
ordef, and so should be very cautiously treated as a. local malady. Its
syWptoms area perpetual flow of saliva, want of appetite, inability to
swA'llow liquids,; the- fluid returning partly by the nostrils, and each
gulp being accompanied with an audible effort. •
A'hor.'^e'So.suil'ering should be. given complete rest and, if there is
.siich athing in the stable, be i)laced in a loose box. He should be
clothed waimly, fed upon green food for a couple of days, and always
have prefcnt a pail of thick, well-made gruel, which should be regularly
changed til ree times, daily. Three feeds of bruised and scalded oats,
with a handful of beans, should be given every day. If the bowels
prove o' stinate, and after the second day remain constipated, the fol-
lowing drink should be given :
S'^lution of aloes 4 ounces,
. Essence of anise-seed, jounce.
Water, ' 1 pint.
Should the throat not arniend, dissolve half an ounce of extract of bella-
donna in a gallon of water ; holdup the animal's head and pour half a
pint of the liquid into the mouth, and in thirty seconds let the head
dpwn.^ Repeat this from six to eiglit time? during the day.
If , instead of appearing t'6 heal; the s^ore throat seems inclined to
spread, US'3 at once th(? following preparation ; half a pint of perman-
ganate of jSotash in a gallon of distilli-d water, and in the manner di-
rected for the V)elladonna liquid ; or use the following in the same man-

150 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT.
Should the disease not yield, but remain stationarr, give a quart of
brewers' stout morning and evening. If no chanjj^e takes place in t«"n
days, a veterinary surgeon had better be called in.
Spnvin. — Spavin is evidenced by any bony enlargement upon the
lower and inner side of the ho<k. The leg cannot be flexed and the
hoof is hindered from being fumed outward The horse leave's the
stable limping, but returns socmingly improved by exercise. Tlie ff>< t
is dragged along the ground instead of lifted, which causes the front of
the shoe to be worn to a state of positive shai-pness and the toe of the
hoof to be rendered blunt. When the bony enlargement is located high
upon thejoint it is generally incurable.
Good food and rest aie the best treatment for spavirt; there arc vari-
ous crufd treatments, such as firing, punching, etc., but their cfflciicy is
qtiestioned. While inflammation exists, apply poultices and rub the
part with a mi.xture of belladonna and opium one ounce of each
rubbed down with an ounce of water ; or place opium and camphor oti
the poultices ; or rub tie enlargement with equal parts of chlorof<''rm
and camphorated oil. The pain and heat having suicided, apply wifh
friction some of the following ointment :
Iodide of lead, 1 ounce.
Simple ointment, 8 ounces. Mix.
Splint. — Splints are very commonly met witb, especially in road-
sters and draught horses. Some splints, when they have reached their
maturity, cause little or no inconvenience. All are p^inf-^1 •t'Cli pi'; grow-
ing, and in that state generally cause lameness. Any swenirtjr u]')f>n tbt
inner :ind lower part of the knee of the fore leg, or any enlal-gfemeftt
upon the shin-bone of oither limb, may betaken as an evidence of thife
diseaHe. On the shin they are to be dreaded, as they interfere with the
movements of the tendons. In feeling down the leg, any heat, tender
ne-js or enlargement is proof of a splint. If, on the trot, one leg is not
fuily flexed or the horse "dishes" or turns the leg outward, the proof is
confirmed.
TliNV and liberal food are the best treatment for splint.s. V/^hen they
arc acutely painful, a po\dtice on which one drachm of opium and one
drachm of camphor is sprinkled will frequently afford relief. They
may also at such time« be rtibbed with a drachm of cldoroform com-
bined with two drachms of camphorated oil. These measuroB aim
merely at mitigating the symptoms. Operations tor splints are dangei-
ous remedies, though sometimes resorted to.
When a splint interferes with a tendon, however, the only chanc'e of
cure! is it) au Dperatiou. This requires a skillex.! hand. AtYer the opei-
atioii the skin sliould be left open and the wound dressed with the lotion
made of chloride of zinc one grain to water one ounce. Nothing irri-

taliiig to the bone sLouId be employed. Splints sometimes occur on the
outer Bide of the hiud leg ; these, huwevei', do not occasion severe Iftme-
iiess, and are not worthy of much notice. The following ointment is
excellent for preventing the lurtUer enlargement of a splint :
~ Iodide of lead, 1 ounce.
Simple ointment, y ounces.
Mix »n(l apply with friction three times daily.
Sprain of tfie Hack Sinews, — Sprain of the back sinews often
occurs in driving or riding hor-ses over uneven ground or hilly roads.
Shatl'horaes descending a steep declivity with loads behind them are
very liable to sprain the back sinews. Slight sprains may be treated by
bandaging the leg with linen rather tightly, and keeping the bandage
conjiluntiy wet with cold water. The horse should be allowed to rest,
and no attempt should be made to work oft" the complaint. The horse
should not be put to work until more than recovered. Bad sprains are
Tery serious affairs, and operations are often necessary. These, now-
eyer, never fully restore the horse.
Staggers, — Mad staggers and sleepy staggers represent different
sympiuiute or stages of the same disease. Over-feeding is the sole cause
giving the horse considerably more at any meal than his usual allow-
ance, especially after much fatigue or a prolonged fast. Eating certain
footls sucIj as ripe or tast-ripening rye-grass, is liable to bring on the
staggers.
The Hr8t symptons are the sleepy staggers. The horse becomes dull
or sleepy ; tue head hangs downward or is pressed against some promi-
nence ; the animal snores when sleeping ; the skin is cold and the coat
staring. Some animals die in this state. The advent of mad staggers
is announcetl by a raising of the lid and sudden brightening of the eye ;
the breath becomes rapid and drawn, with a panting action. The
wliule appearance is altered ; the evidences of approaching frenzy can
hardly be mistaken.
Ureatfmnt. — Allow no water. Give a quart of any oil. Si.\ hours
afterward give another quart of oil, with twenty drops of croton oil in it,
-should no improvement be noticed. If there is still no improvement
within another six houis, repeat the oil with thirty drops of croton oil.
Afler a further six hours repeat ihe dose, and administer the succeeding
doses at the intervals before staled until the altered a.spect of the horse
indicates that the distension has l>een relieved. Upon the slightest
mitigation ol the symptoms stop all medicine at once.
If the mad stage becomes fully developed no remedies can avail.
HurfeU, — This is a sudden rash or a quantity of heat-spots bursting
out upon the skin, which are round, blunt, and slightly elevated. If
the pulse is not affected, the lumps may disappear in a few horns. The

Should the iiorse l)e young and have been, neglected thioughout the
winter, a surfeit sonu-tiines appears which i.s of a different ciiaracler.
The lumps do not disappear, but an exudation escapes fioni the centre
of each. In this case tlie coiistitulion is involved, and if not attendo<l U)
thi' malady is apt to settle upon the lungs. Should the attack assiuue
this appearance, the horse should not be taken from the stable even for
e.\ercise; the bed should be kept clean and the stafjle welj ventilated.
Feed as previously directed, and give bran mashes if the b(nyel9:3re cou-
slii)ated, but cease to give them when the constipation is removed.
Adnunisler the drink before recommended nigiit and, morning, but
should the appetite .sutler reduce the quantity or withhold all medicine.
Clothe warmly. Should the pulse suddenly sink, allow two ])ot,s if
stout daily. If the a))petitc is poor, good gruel instead of water should
Ije keiil constantly in the manger. The .shortest .cases of this alfecrf ion
generally last a tbrtnight, duiing which time tl)e treatment consists in
good nursing and in liberally supporting the body.
Sirollrit />f:'f/.s.— Swollen legs mostly occur in heavy animals, and
have a tendency to partial dropsy. In mild cases bandages of doth or
flaiuiel wet with cold water afford relief. In more serious cases the
horse should be |)laced in a large, roomy loose box, if possible, for
nolliing more ([uickly removes this affection than easy and natural
motion. Flay should not be fed to the auinuU for some weeks. The
corn should be dami)ed and a handful of ground oak bark should be
sprinkled on each U;i'i\. Atten<l partieidarly to e.xercising the horse.
Siioulii tiie legs continue to enlarge, do not apply. the ban ages, but
hand-rub the limb well and long.
Th rush.— Thin di.'^ea.se is evidenced by a thin foul-swelling discharge,
appearing in the cleft of the frog. Thrush may be due to a local origin,
as stai.din!/ in filih in III.' st.ible, or it may be caused by a constitutional
afTeclion. Local tlnudi shows itself in the hind foot, and constitutional
iu the lore lb<.i. To prev(;nl local trush keep the stable clean. Clay,
cow dung, and other tilth cnq>lov<'d for stopping the horse's feet -will
produce tlinish it loig continued.
If liic affection has a local origin, place the foot in a, poultice for
tweuty-four hours. Afterward cleanse the cleft of the frog by see-saw-

iug :i little tow or soft band through it ; then ram a little calomel and
tow down to the bottom ol the cleft with a sharpened piece of wood.
t?hould this treatment not cure the trush, take ihe horse to the black-
smith after washing the feet well with water in which is dissolved chlo-
ride of zinc in the proportion of two scruples to the pint. When he has
I)ared iiway the frog till only sound horn remain or the flesh is exposed,
the shoe should be tacked on and the horse returned to a clean stall.
Apply chluride-of-zinc lotion, three grains to an ounce of water, to the
cleft of the Irog by means of some tow wrapped round a small piece of
Slick. When the stench has ceased a little liquor of lead will perfect the
cure.
When thrush is constitutional it is best to have the ragged thrush and
unsound horn removed. Alterwai'd dress every morning with the
chlori(le-uI-ziuc lotion. Do not attempt to stop the thrush.
Tread. — Fatigue and overweight are the usual causes of tread. In
ligiii horses it occurs toward the end of a long journey. The hind foot
is not removed when the fore foot is put to the ground. The end of the
fore sljiie cuusequently tears off" a portion of the coronet from the hind
fool, in cart-i orses, alter the horse is fatigued, the load has to be taken
down a sleep hill ; the animal, being in the shafts, rocks to and fro the
legs cross, and the calk of one shoe, wounds the coronet of tfie opposite
hoof.
The sore should be bathed with chlorideof-zinc lotion, one grain to an
ounce ui uatei. Continue to do this three times daily. Feed liberally.
A ^]ough will take place and the animal will be well in about a month,
the only danger being the aiter-result of a false quarter
Oyei'i'ertc/t, which is akiu to tread, occurs only to fast horses. It
calls tor the same treatment as tread.
U'hul-Galls. — These are small enlargements, generally upon the
hind legs and below the hocks. They are caused by hard labor. The
best form of treatment is the application of pressure. Fold a piec«^ of
soft rag several times ; saturate the rag with water and lay upon it one
drachm each oi opium and, camj^hor. Wrap this about the enlargement.
Upon the moistened rag place a piece of cork big enough to cover the
Vvind-gall, and above it lace on an India-rubber bandage. This bandage
should be constantly worn in the stable.
Worms. — Worms infesting the horse are of four kinds : the taenia or
tapeworm, the lumbrici, the strongylus and the ascarides.
The tape-worm mostly affects colts, and is caused by denying the
mare proper nourishment when with foal or by breeding from old ani-
mals. A foal alflicted with tape- worm grows up with a large head, low
crest and long limbs. Tlie abdomen is swollen, the appetite is raven-
ous, the coat unhealthy and the breath fetid. The animal may rub Its

Procure one. pound of quassia-chips ; pour on them three quarts of

meau,s of yolks of eggs, with so much of the quassia infusion as may be
necesgary. Add one scruple ot powuered camphor to the full drink,
and give every morning before allowing any food. This may kill the
worms, but as every link of the tape-worm is a distinct animal of both
sexes and capable of producing itself, the eggs must be numerous. For
the destruction of these, nourishing prepared food is essential such as
gruel, scalded oats, etc.; little or no hay should be given. The follow-
ing tonic will be of seivice :
Liquor arseaicalis, 1 to 8 drachms.
Muriated tincture of iron, U to 13 drachms.
Extract of belladonna, 10 grains 10 2 draciuns.
Ale or go(xl stout, ^ pint to 1 quart.

eoat of the animal becomes glossy.
Tlie lumbrici woinis prey upon weakly horses aud those enfeebled by
age. Two drachujs of tariaiized antimony, with a sufficiency of cpm-
mon mass, should be given as a ball every morning until the worms are
exj>clled.
The ».scari<ics ajul strongyli inhabit tiie large intestines. The last, ai-e

The ».scarides are always located within the rectum. It is best to begin
Irftatment with inJt'c.tionM of train oil. Should these be followed by uo
result by the enil of a week, give lor seven mornings a solution of cate-
chu, one oun(ai to a (piarl of water. U]>on the eighth morning give the

sum named therein, on sight or demand, or at a time therein specified,
to a persfm named, to his order, heirs or assigns, or tf> the bearer. He
who promises the payment is the mnker or drawer of the aote. He to
whoin it is i)ayable is the j!)«yc?^. He who indorses it is the indorser.
He to whom liie indorser, l)y that indorsement, transfers his interest, is
tlie iridor»fe. He in wliose possession the note is when due is the holder,
'Tlie following are essential requisites in law to constitute a promis-
sory note: A promissory note must be in writing. Its promise to pay
" " must bedistinetly expressed, and without qualification. It calls for
' payment in money only. The sum to be paid is definitely stated, both
ill tlj^iires and in woi'ds. Should these not agree, the words will rule
'' the figures. If no 1 line of pa3'men.t is fixed, the note i^ payable on ,de-
'^^manil. ifthe note is hot dated, its elate- is assumed to Ikj the day when
Its existence was first established. If made pavabk' to a fictitious per-
son,' It IS ])ayabl(' tt) the bearer.

sideratibn for which he promises the payment of the note, but makes it

"may' raise money on flie maker's name. He who is so accommodated
'" caiinot recover f.iie nioney promised by the ihaker. If, however,, the
note be indorsed over to a third party "for value received," then the
raatier is holden to the third party, even though the nature of the note
was known l)y the third party when he received the note.
Invalid JSott'.^. — Tiie following aoles are invalid: All that lack consid-
eration, which must be some benefit to the party who makes the note,
or 90;]ne act, laboi-, forbearance, etc., on the part of the payee. Also, all
notes founded on fraud or on undue advantage taken of a party, or for
illegal considerations, as bribery, wagers, etc. Also, all notes in which
matenal alterations appear. Also, notes dated on Sundays, kgal holi-
days, and on dales yet future when the note is issued.

words •' or ordiT*' are used, ilic insiiium'iil must lie indors<^(l by the

Tliree da^'s of grace are usually alli)\v<'d on all notes aud draftij, ex-
cept tliose "on demand." These days make no allowance for Sundays
or indidays, so that if a note fall iliic on riiur-:day, the days of graee are
up ell Sntiu'day.
As reuards the indorsement of noies bear these regulations in mind:
A nolt- drawn to a certain person, or bearer, needs no indorsement,
though for llie sake of tracing it readily indorsemeni is usuallj- asked.
Ageneial indorsement is made by simply writing the payee's name on
th<- back of the note, in tliis form he remains open to all the c<;nse-
((Uriices if tilt' maker of the note fail to pay it. A special indorsement
diri-cls payment to a particidar i)erson hy writing above the, signature
the words "Pay to A. B. or order.' In this case responsibility falls on
this indorser only wlien those before him on the note fail to piiy. If the
iudors( r wishes to avoid all responsibility as such, he must add the
wordn " without recourse" in a general indorsement, and " at hia risk,"
to a special indorsement, or "without recourse upon me." No indorae-
ment can paas the property included in a note imless the indoraer has legal
claim to that property. Indorsers become security that the maker of
the Hole -hall pay the n\ouey due thereon. If the holder is guilty of
ueijlecl (»r in any way compromises with the holder in respect to the
claim, the indorsers are discharged from all lurthor responsibility. No
Compromise can l)e made with antecedent indorsers to the injury of
those suliscquently on the paper. Demand for jiayment when due, and
propi-r diligence in enfoicing it, mnsl jirecede <^harg«' upon the in-
dorsers.
Should the holder of ;i note lose it, he must nuike a fornud demand
for its payuMMit when due, Inil he is resjionsihle to the party paying the
noli- ill cjiM! troubh' should arise. When a nolc is lost, it is well lo give
public Warning agaiiisl its ni'goilatioii ; in some .Slates this is essential.
'I'he demand for payminl of a note should be made upon llu- day Ihat
il ix dill: and aceordiiig to ilic -pccilic.itions of the note. A good way to
save trouble is to ibn.w the note inio a bank for collection, wluch
charges hut a .snnill fee.
ill cascol'llie non-i)aymeiil ol a note, place it in the hands of a notary
public, lie tninially ijiniands |>a\ iiieiil, and if not received he al tmce
protests the note and informs the indorsers. Should any loss occur
UiTough the notary's neglect, he is responsible.
Miscellaneous department, lei
If payment of a note be made to a person because of a forged signa-
ture of tJic payee or other indorse)-, ov it some one fiuudulently collects
the money wlio pretends to be the parly to whom a note Ls especially in-
dorsed, the maker is not released from his obliijation on account of the
fraud playtsd upon him. Should a note be paid before it is due, and
.shoaltt it afterward pasa int(j the hands of a bona fide holder for value,
the liilter can in.sist upon a full payment at the maturity of the note.

\^, HE History of Washington might begin witli s period long before
the Palefaces came thither, could vi'e place impliciti reliance upon
Indian traditions. These give us an account of fierce stniggles
that took place for supremacy, as three tribes, one after the other lield
the territory hereabouts. These traditions of warfare are attested by
the many arrow-heads and spear-points found in our soil ; yet we will
content ourselves with a more recent date for a beginning. Passing
over the time when this spot of earth was under the sway of the propri-
etors of one of the Jerseys — past the time when the two .lerseys were
merged in one colony, ruled over by tlie Governor of New York, we be-
gin at 1694 when a colony with a Governor of its own appointed bj'
the Mother Country an act was passed by the English Parliment con-
firming the boundaries of the eight counties into whicr. New Jersey was
then divided. This then was a part of Burlington County, but in 1714
the new County of Hunterdon was carved out of Burlington for the con-
venience of the early settlers who found the County Seat too far off to
be readily accessible. From Hunterdon county, in 1738, Morris county
was set apart, and again in 1753 Sussex county, and finally in 1824 War-
ren county was made from a portion of Sussex. This was a part of
Mansfield township until 1849, when the town of Washington was set
aside, and that again divided in 1868, when a mile square was made into
the Borough of Washington.
. Port Golden was chosen as the site for a city, but the fates ruled
otherwise, and it is now content to be a pretty suburb of its lucky sister.
It will be frf>m gross neglect of its opportunities if Washington does
not grow into a city of many thousands. The beauty of its location,
the healthful climate, the rich surrounding country, the facilities for
transportation, all make it likely that it has a future. But the historian
must not stop his work to prophesy.
184 HISTORY OF WASHINGTON.
The first we hear of white folks ;it lliis phiee was a cry tor preach-
ing, and to this day it is a ehurch-ftoing: people tliat live here. 1740 an
application was made to Presbytery " tor supplies of preaching in Mr.
Barber's neighborhood, Muscannekuuk," in response to which appeal
the Presbytery erected a log building on the hill, by what is now known
as the old cemetery; this being at first called " the Barber Neighbor-
hood Church," the first pastor being an Irishman named McCrea. He
had no parsonage here, his home being on the saddle, whence he could
overlook the various charges committed to him in the wilderness we now
know as the garden section of New Jersey. His sister was murdered
by Indians at the Fort Edward massacre. New York State, during the
Revolutionary war. His successor was an Irishman, as also was the
third pastor, llev. John Rosburgh, who left his charge to join the Rev-
olutionary army as chai)lain, to meet his death at the battle Assunpink,
a few d:iys al'tcjr the battle of Trenton.
At a date unknown the church was re-christened, being known
thereafter as the "Mansfield wood-house fhurch"; a name it retained
even after the erection of a stone edifice upon the same site. Upon the
church records, 1790, is entered a rule that each pew-holder should fur-
nish a bushel of wheat per annum to the man wlio cared for the building
and built tires in the winter. The gradual growth of Washington may
best be shown by continuing its Church history. 1822 the church was
again re-named and hencelbrlh called the Mansfield Presbyterian Church.
1837 a new building being found necessary, a struggle ensued as to
whether it should be upon the old site or down the hill where the town
was growing. Those who were disappointed in the removal of the
church withdrew fron\ the society and organized a new church at
Hampton, now known as the Valley Church. It was finally decided to
move, and a brick church erected that was destroyed 1863, upon the
ruins of which the i)reseul handsome edifice was built. Not until 1877
was the present name given of "First Presbyterian Church of Wash-
ington."
The M. E. Church had its beginning in the barn of Al)ruhani
Woolsloii, Port Coldcii, 1810. Alter many removals (once to Karrs-
ville) it was strong cnouiili, in 1.S23, to build a house of worship, and
slirewdly it was decideil to build at Washington. Col. McCullough and
his son-in-law, Maj. llankinson who were largely instrumental in
building up the village, were recent converts when the church was l)uilt
and through ihem the building was made possible. 18.-)() the cliurch
was rebuilt in brick. In IHfM il was gicatly enlarged, and furlher
improvcmcnls have since been niaile.

HISTORY OF WASHINGTON. 185
■ awueuL lodgment, aiul many years of struggle witli alternate success anil
failure were finally crowned by the erection of a cliapel on Broad street,
1886.
St. Josepli's K. C Church was erected 1872; the congregation hav-
ing previously met at i)rivHte hou.ses for several years.
The Baptists do not api)ear to have made any effort in this portion
of the vineyard until about 1881. Discouragements that would have
daunted less persevering souls met their first efforts, but tiiey succeeded
.'in erecting a haucLso.me ' little church around the C(n-ner", 1886.
The colored people were 20 years getting together material for a
.congregation, but 1882 their church on the bank of the canal was ded-
icated, to their great delight.
The first school-house of which we can learn was a los: buildins
erected prior to the Hevolutionary war, in which the birch was swung
until the beginning of the present century. Various private and public
schools flourished until the present fine brick structure was built, 1873,
at a cost of $04,000; enlarged 1886. at a cost of |4,500.
The earliest tavern stood upon the hill close by the log church.
-Afterward one was built at the corner where now stands the Windsor
Bouse, or at whjit was then called Washington Crossroads. Why so
-called is doubtful, for despite the legend that Washington once drank
•at the well opposite the St. Cloud Hotel, it is almost certain that Wash-
ington never enjoyed the privilege of visiting this region. Other inns at
^n early date were located, one where Elisha Biud's block now is;
another the stone house now occupied by Prof. J. M. Rosenberry on
Broad street; another where John T. Langstafi' resides — that build-
ing being, with one e.vception, the oldest building in the borough.
Priorto 1811 there were no buildings within the present borough lim-
iits of a better nature than log-huts, but that year Col. McCuUough
*uilt the brick house now occupied by Dr. J. S. Cook.
The first postofRce was opened 1814, under the name of Mansfield,
with Jolin L. Robbius as postmaster. He had so little to do, with the
few letters and fewer newspapers that came into his hands, that he com-
bined with his postofRce a harness and shoe store. From that date to
1886 there have been 2.~» postmasters, .lust before 188o the business of
nhe office had so greatly increased that but two postoflices in tlie State-
Newark and Jersey City — turned in as mirch revenue to the Postoftia-
Department.
A stranger in VVasliington will notice as a peculiar feature that it
looks as if recently built. Out West that seems a matter of course, but
in Jersey one expects to see new and old side by side. The fact is that
Washington has only recently begun to grow. Our townsman, J. V.
Creveling, Esq., still m his prime, when a boy ploughed ground that
18J HISTORY OF WASHINGTON.
had never before been cnllivated, in the limits of what is now known 8J«
Washington borough. Another of our justices of peace, A. B. Stewarts
Esq., to call whom an ol I man would be a dangerous experiment, is al-
most a founder of the present village. 1857 he purchased a farm, cut ii
up into lots, on which are now built a large part < 1 the borough dwell-
ings. It is a hazardous task to try to give the names and exploits of the
early citizens of Washington, as one is sure to omit names that ought to
be given prominence. But a very brief roll of honor may be presented
without claiming lo have it complete. The McCulloughs, Hankinsons,,
Laceys, Van Horns, VanNattas, '"revelings, Ruslings, .-hrrjpes, Rob-
bins, .Johnstons, Drakes, Henrys, Beavers, Davis, Hughs, Van Dorens,
and many others whose acts deserve to be chronicled;
It is pleasant lo know that in the Revolutionary war this section of"
Jersey had few Tories and furnished many good soldiers, and lo remem-.
ber that in the late Civil war Washington sent its full share of Boys in
Blue to fight for the flag.
Long before Washington had factories it had a distillery that has
disappeared, and it is worthy of notice that there is not as much drink-
ing now as when Washington was a little cross-road hamlet.
Its indu.stries have been the tannery, the carriage shops the boat,
yard and the organ factories, by which the town has been made known.
Ihrougliout the world, and finally the shoe factory started 1884. In the
manufacture ol organs, Robert Hornbaker was the pioneei'. though
John A. Smith, and after him, H. K. White, made melodeons here
before Among the organ makers who have made Washington famous
have been Hornbaker, McMurlrie, Plotts, Dawes, Wyckoflf, Alleger,.
Bowlby, Kennedy, Beatty, Cornish, Cole, Cieveling, VanDoren,
Herrick and others whose names we cannot just now recall. Of all.
these Beatty has undoubtedly made the most noise in the world. His
career reads like a tale of j\Iunchausen. In ten years, starting a penni-
less boy, he built up a business of large proportions, turning out 1800'
organs per month, spending $400,000 per annnm in advertising, but hi?,
rapid onward progress was in a moment checked by disaster. The bub-
ble burst and his wonderful prosperity gave way to sudden ruin, and
the wonder changed from ' ' how could he acheive success so great in so
short a time," to "how could he become so involved in embarrasments.'"
It was a modern " rise and fall of the Roman Empire," in one short
chapter, and fiction has no parallel for so unique a career as his. Every-
body hopes he may yet succeed in retrieving his fortune. He is young
and plucky and having made a start again may once more astonish the
world.
Cornish, Alleger and Bowlby, though moving on more slowl}*, have
surely advanced and are giving employment to many men, and are
yearly increasing their business.
HISTORY OF WASHINGTOX. 187
Tlie shoe factory seems iu a fair way to be a ilecided success.
Of corporations, llie First National Bank, organized 1864, and the
Washin<iton Water Compans', organized 1881, are both in a flourishing
condition, their stock much above par, and stockholders happj- with
regular dividends. The Washington Building Loan Association, started
1870, was not the succ<-ss its promoters anticipated, yet it has made
money for such as held on to their stock with the gri]:) of grim despair.
Washington has had excellent musical organizations. The old brass
hand won laurels upon many a field and prizes when it competed for
them. The orchestra was an unusually fine one until, as with the band,
its members were scattered, and could no longer meet together. 18G0,
two militia companies sprang suddenly into existence, rivalry was in-
tense between them. Real wai* came soon after, and men from both
companies enlisted, forming a company that went to the front; as a
result, both of the original companies were disbanded. About 20 years
later the same thing again happened. Two rival companies were almost
simultaneously raised, between whom much feeling existed. They were
speedily equipped and uniformed, but both ([uickly disbanded, why,
" no fellow could ever find out."
Washington has always been a great place to start new societies
and the graveyard is full of such, over the graves of some of which the
epitaph sliouM be written :
" If I was so soon to be done for,
Why was I ever begun for."
Some have died and been resurrected, but of tho-e who have died
to live no more have been — Knights of Pythias, Good Templars,
" Young Men's Christian Association," " Emerson Glee Club," Wash-
ington Lecture Association, " Sons of Temperance," "Washington
Reform Club."
The earliest sf)ciety of all has been the most prosperous, though
oven it had a period of several j-ears' slumber that seemed like death.
1814, Mansfield Lodge :J1, F. Sz A. M., was instituted; after ten years
it became inoperative and forfeited its charter. It was resuscitated l8o.5
ns Mansfield Lodge :i{i, F. Sc A. M. Temple Chapter 13, R. A. M., was
instituted at Phillipsburg, 1860, and removed to Washington, l^Go.
Washington Council 7, R. A: S. M., was instituted 1860. DeMoIay
Commandery 6, Iv. T., was instituted 1S67. It is said that no place
of its si/e in New .Jersey has as good opi)ortunitics for tiiose who vvisli
to go through the various degrees of masonry. Mansfield Lodge 42,
I. O. O. P., was instituted 1846. Hero Encampment 42, I. O. O. F.
Lil)erly Council, O. U. A. M., 15, was instituted 1866. Warren Council
16, .Jr O. U. A. M., was instituted 1868, but atter a t-imc lapsed, and
188 HISTOiiY OF WASHINGTON.
•was re-instituted as Warren Council 16, Jr. O. U. A. M., I880. Post ^
ilfnrylJO, (i. A. li , was Drganized 1870, but after nearl}' ten years of ,
lite surrendered its charter, .lohn F. Reynolds Post OG, G. A. R., was
organized 1882, and is now in a tlourisiiing condition. In point of
finances tlje Masonic order is the most prosperous, next tp which tL&
Odd Fellows, and ilicn the Order I idled American Mechanics.
The Woman's Clirislian Te)ni)erauce Union was started 1870. and,
■waxes stronger tiom year to year.
The Red !Men organized in force some years ago, but faded before
the Pale Faces, but 1886, the Ute Tribe 80, I. O. R. M., camped here
as if they had Cv,nie to stay.
Washington Lodge 5, K. i.^: L. ot the G. S., and ^lusconetcong Coun-
cil 1036, Ameiican Legion of Honor, have both tiourished since 1884.
The youngest order in our Borough is that of llie Knights of.
Labor. The Band of Hope has for several years drilled the children tor
the ranks of Teini)erance. Wliile tender youths of the masculine gender
are banded in a secret society of their own getting up and go about wear-
ing the mysterious ])adge E. The Sons of Temperance may be ex-
jiected back in force, as they come every once in a while, like a comet,
having befu orgainzed 1862. 1869 and 1886, the last time existing only
a few months.
One thing above all else is remarkable in Washington: The ab-
sence of family, neighorhood and church nuarrel^ But why should peo-
ple quarrel whose surroundings are so delightful. May the Borougk.,
long flourish, and its citizens be ever happy.
Wasliington has a population of about 8,000, and the present officers ■
ol the village are : Mayor, Johnston Cornish; Clerk, John Cushing;
Assessor, Wm. P. Milroy ; Collector, John C. Weller ; Overseer of.

HACKETTSTOWN.
X
\\{ ACKETTSTOWN was incor;orated as a borough in 1653 and
T" has now (.jSSO) .ibout 2,800 inliabitants.
"^"^ It lias an ai-ea of about '2f miles, or 1754 acres. It is bounded
on the north and east by Morris county; on the south by Mansfield town-
ship, and on tlie w^est by Independe::ce. It received its present name trom
a gentleman by the name of Samuel Hackett, at the time of the raising of
the frame of the first hotel on the site of the Warren House. This was
most probably in the year 1704. Few [laces in the county of Warren have
such a beautiful natural location as tins thrlvingtown. From the summit
of Bucks Hill, a rocky height half a mile from town, tlie t w^n and adjacent
country can be seen to the best advantage. Towards the south ihc tertile
valley of the Musconetcong stretches as far as the eye can reach. Tlie
hills coming together on the north, and bounding the view in that
direction ; the Schooley Mountain range on the east ; the Musconetcong
river meandering through the midst of the valley,* >md on whcso baiiks
the borough stands ; the Morris canal at the foot of the hills and the D.
L. & W. R. R. track a little below that, presents to the eye a panorama
that is indeed most pic'.uresqiie.
It is said that Samuel Hackett was the first settler of this town, and
that he settled there about the year 1720. His father-in-law had received
large grants of land from the King of England, and he in turn gave 10,-
000 acres to Mr. Hackett.
He once lived in a log house that stood on the eastern bank of Bowers*
foundry pond. Thomas Shields, Jr., a few years ago removf-d the
Lozear house, which it is said was his last residence. He was one of the
judges of Morris county before Sus-.^ex and Warren were taken from it.
He lived to a ripe old age and died without any heirs.
Hackettstown has three hotels, none of which have license at the
present time. There has been a hotel where the Warren House now
214 HISTORY OF HACK KITS TOWN.
stands for ihe last ninety years. The house wan rebuilt in 1840, and lias>
been known af< the " Warren House "since. The "American House'
was kept as a liotel as early as \S'i'->. It has been added to a number of
times until it now has a frontage of 100 feet. The Clarendon House,
owned by Tiiomas Shields, Jr., is t!i ■ iv.\ : in ) st recently l)nilt and is a
very neat and attractive liosielry.
Haoketlslow 11 is luirdeiied with a considerable debt, most of
which was incurred in liuildiny the i)reseut line large public scho(.l
building, which is a credit and ornament to the town. The debt, how-
ever, is being gradually wiped out and ta.xes are easier.
The town is well supplied with churches. Tlie " Fiist Presbyteiian
Chuicii "f liide|)endence" is a strong organization. Tlie first building
was a frame one erected about the year ITOO. About the year IHll', this
old Church was sold and removed to Beattystown and a new one erected.
The i>resent church was erected in 1861, when the Rev. G. C. Bush was
pastor ; is valued at §36,000, with a membership of about 500.
■niE ST. .TAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH
was erected in ls.7.i. It is a Mission belonging to the (Convocation of
Newark.
rniMTV .MErilUlJIST kpisiopal ciiuucii
was organi.;ed in \>^-'j'2. There was nc regular Methodist aiiiioiutmcuf
prior to tliat lime. The first churcii was eiectetl in is;)4. Tliere was a
new edifice built in front and nearer the street in 1838. The old one is
used now as a Sabbath school room.
ST. MAPvY'SCATUOLIC IIILP.CU
was erected in 1864. Before its erection the few Catholics in Hacketts-
lown and vicinity wi>rshi])i>ed in ;i house near the ]S[orris and Essex
railroatl.
The sclu)ol facilities ol llackeltslown are unsurpassed. The fine
ihrce-story ])ublic school building was erected in 1874, at a cost of $oO,-
000. The school (list 1 let is numb(M- 48, and there are, according to the
report of State Sui)erinteiul;un in 1875, 648 sclu'lars in the district. The
total amount received from all source- tor public school purposes was

was laiil Sepleml)er ',', l!-^60. It is a .Melhoilist institution inde; the care
of the Newark M. K. Conference. Hackettst(nvn was selected as the site
of tliis institution because of the grandeur of its scenery, the purity of its
water ;ind tiie heidthfulne.ss of its climate. The building cost over
:f;'300,000 and is free of debt. It has under the I'residency of Rev. George

want of room to accommodiiTr them. It is designateti to afford the
amplest facilities for both sexes to receive a superior education, and to
prepare young im n fwr iIh' higher classes in college or theological
seminary.
Hackettstown is favorably situated for the introduction of water, and
the reservoir built at Sclioole5'^^'s Mountain amplj- supplies the town.
The income Irom the water works is a source of profit to the town.
The " First National Bank of Hackettstown" is considered one of

Sl^ CAUTION. — 'I'lie Public is strictly cautioned against
usin<^' so-called Coui^h Syru]>s or Cough Mixtures, w^n(i are
offered for sale with sealed corks, to prevent evaporation. All
these contain chloroform, chloric-ether, ether, and other vola-
tile and injurious drugs (may be known by theii' color) which
only give temporary or a false relief, and cause drowsiness,
bad after-effects, or leave a burning, sweet taste. By the use
of these preparations the system acquires tlie dreaded opium
or morphine habit, and but a smaU portion of the general
public have any adequate idea of the strength of this habit, or
of the great difficulty and impossibility, in most cases, of un-
aided cure. The chief responsibility, indeed, with the habit-
lies in the initiation rather than in the continuance of the
habit ; you cannot, like the user of alcohol and tobacco, by a
strong effort of the will, shake oft' its chains.

i,iS is lltc i-ounly seal ot WaiTcn county, :ind is beainiluily located
on eiiliersiile of Pfjqueisl creek at its court iience with tlie Deiawaie
live)'. The south side of the creek was the poition tirst settled.
It is regul ^rly laid out in sqiiares, and about 80 or 40 feet above the level
of the river. Here is the piihlit- square, the Court House, aud the most
beauiiful part ol the t«wii. Around the public park are located, with
one exception, the churches of the town, viz : Protestant Episcopal,
Methodist Episcoi^al, Presbyterian and Baptist Ciiurches, lacing the east,
eoutli and west sides of the park. The Second Presbyterian Church is
located on the north side of the river.
Belvidere is situated about To miles from New York, Go miles from
Philadelphia and 18 miles iibove Easton, Pa., and cont:iiris ;ibout 1,«0U
inhabitants.
It is 8up}M)sed thttt the portion of the town upon tlie soulli side of the
Pequesl was at one time an Indian village Itobert Patterson was the
first pioneer of Belvidere, and probably built the first house, which was
torn down in 1838 by Major Depue. It was a block house, or double
log house, as they were called in those days. The next laud owner was
Robert Morris, who in 1798 " gave a deed of the entire tract to his son-
in-law and daughter, (Charles and Mary Coxall." By deed dated Sept.
30, 18'25, the entire 014 acres embraced in this tvact were transferred to
Garret D. Wall by Charles Coxall — Mary Coxall having previously died.
Subsequently Mr. Wall generously donated to Warren county the
grounds upon which the county buildings stand, and the public square.
To his generosity, also, all the churches which face tlie park, with the
exception of the Baptist, owe the lands tt^on which the ciiurches and
pasonages stand. The Baptists purchased their church lot of Hon. Geo.
M. R be^oa, in 18()(). , Major Robert Hoops came to Belvidere about the
year 1770. He gave Belvidere its present name, and was an extensive'
land proprietor in and about the place. He acquired by purchase .soum
500 acres of land on either side of the Pequest, including the mill .•in(l
238 HISTORY OF BELMI>KRK.
WHter i)()\vcr. He iittcrwMid-; creeled :i l;iri:e slaughler house on the lot
•where now stand tlie buiUliuirs of D. C. lilair. In tliis building " large
nnmbeis of eatlle and liogs were slauulitered and i)acked, wliicli together
with the tlour nianiit'aeUired at the mill were transported to middle Jersey
for the itse ot ll*e Revolntlonaiy army, and not unfrequently aJt that
period, all the farmers wagons and sleds w'cre put into requisition to con-
vey these articles to the half-starving thousands under the command of
Gen. Washin^gton. in the vicinity ot Moriisiown."
During ]\Iajor Hoop's ovvnershi}) of the land to the north of the
Peque t, he had it surveyed and divided into town lots, and called the
town ".ilereer,'' which remained its name for many years. This was,
at that lime, the only business part ot the town, except the double-log or
block-house, of Patt(.'rson's, wliich was occupied as a store, and subse-
quently as a tavern, and the Coxall mansion, which was in all proba-
bility built by Robert Morris about the year 1780. Belviderc is at the
western terminus of the Lehigh & Hudson railroad, and also on the
Belvidere & Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania railroad, and is well
siijiljlied with good hotels. The Warren House, the American House,
the Pequest House arc all kept in a tirst-class manner, and receive a
liberal patronage.
The "Belvidere House." which was built in 1831 by Chapman
Warner, and originally intended for a store, and a dwelling, was torn
down this Summer, (1880), and will be rei)laced by a large and com-
modious structure, with all the conveniences of n tirstclass hotel. Tlie
KKI.VIDKKK BANK
was chartered Feb. lyth, 1830, principally through the etlbrls of Hon.
John I. Blair. The first President of the institution was John Kinney
Jr. who held the position till his death. 1850, when John 1. Blair, Esq.,
was elected to fill the vacancy, and has held the position ever since.
The first cashier was John Stuart, who was succeeded in 1854 b}' the
present incumbent, Israel Harris. It was organized as a National Bank
in 1865 with a capital of $500,000, but, in 187fi. by a vote of its stock-
holders, the ca])ital was reduced to ."fodO.UOO.
Belvidere is very favorably situnled ftu ii\:inufaelui iug purfXises.
Its water ]>ower is reckoned as second lo none lu the Stale, and witli all
the other natural advantages taken into conRiderali<»u it i>robably h:is no
superior as a site for maiuifacturing purp^sev. The iirineiptd nianu-
facturing establishments arc the fiouring mill?!, ol which theri' are
several first-class ones.
Belvidere is well supplied with churches, and has a good public
school. Tiie first school house was a small frame structure of 14 by 20
feet. The present buililing is a common fr^iuie one, and was eicclcd in
1801. In 1S8.-> the total amoimt received for seluml piupo.ses was !§>;;,

PHILLIPSBURG,
>
( , HE present site of Phillipsbuig was in 1654 an Indian villa.ae. and
^cording to a map published at that time bj- a Dutcli enaineer
^ iiamed Vander Dork was called chintervink. It is said to have
Ijee" the favorite lishing ground of the Indians. Tlie " history of the
Lehiirh Valley," published in 1860 gives the following intpresting facts :
" The origin of the name (if Phillipsburg is not well-known, the
impression being that iJ was named after a large landliolder bylhe name
ot Phillips, who resided here at nn early day ; but tlie moi'e plausible
suppositio)) i's that it v>'as derived from tiie Indian cliief PliiJip, who took
up liis abode in this place. This Indian chief was an intimate friend of
the great chief Teedyiiscung. The name of Phillipsburg was found on
the map of the inhabited parts of P<;ims3dvania and New Jersey. j)ub-
lished in 1749 by Evan^^, whicii was l)etbre the time of Mr. Phillip.s'
resi.lence here. '
'■ Phillipsburg was evidently' settled by the white people before
Easton. ina«mncli as Eastoii was not laid out until some time afler the
different maps weie pubhshed giying the name of Phillipsburg. About
the time Easton was laid out the land upon which Phillipsburg was built
was owned by the heirs of David Martin, a ferryman, and. a .Mr. Co.xe,
a merchant of PhiladelpJiia, Mr. Coxe owning the principle part— about
four hundred a\ul eleven acres, among whicli vvert- the ' Old Fields' —
on which, on account of tlieir beautiful location and tlie advantages ihey
appeared to have possessed for the piuposes of a town over tlie hind on
the opposite side of the Delaware river he contemplated in 17.")2to lay
out a town. The intention of Mr. Coxe appeared to greatly alarm tlie
proprietors of Pennsylvania, who were afraid that it would ijijuii- iln-

Phillipsluug was not incorporated as a town unlil March s, 1861.
Its 'growth had been slow, and in iy.")0 it was but a straggling • illage.
The pre.-iMice of the flourishing town oC Easton on tiie (.[)|>osite
bank of the Delaware seemed to operate against its growth, In \^'.i2
the -Morris Canal was coiupieled, and I'hillipsburg made one of (he
termini ol that water-way. That was a step upward. A bigger one
was made in l«4y, when the Trenton Iron Company estaldisheil a
furnace here : and again in iy.")2, when the New Jersey Central Railway
wascomplclcd to that place. In is.")4 the I'.elvidcie Delaware liailroad
was eoinpletetl, inauiilacturing began to enlarge, and it was fairly upon
that road to prosperity wliieh it enjoy- li-day. The railways touching
at Phillipsburg are the New Jersey Clenlral, Itelvidcre Delaware, Lehigii
Valley, Morris A: Essex, and Easton i\; Aniboy. It is an iron manu-
facturing centre, and its industries in that llnegive employment to about
ele^■en hundred men. Conununicaiion i- had with Easton by wieans of
a toll-bridge, and a double railway bridge. The bu.siness ]Kirtion of
Phillipsburg is contined chietiy to Main street, wliich runs northwest

ALLAMUCHY TOWNSHIP.
f'*"/! LLAMUCH Y is situated iu the eastern corner of Warren county,
(HyC It is bounded on the north by Frelinghuysen township and
-«^»/ v^_v Sussex county ; on the east by Sussex and Morris counties;
on the south by Moi-ris county, the borough of Hackettstown and Inde-
pendence township ; and on the west by Independence township. The
township has an area of 30.72 square milesorlS, 260 acresof land, of which
about 2,500 acres belong to the "Great Meadows" and is untillable,
though a portion of this has been reclaimed by drainage. It was formed
from Independence township in the year 1873 ; population of the town-
ship about 900.
The surface of Allamuchy is rough and uneven, covered more or less
with hills. The township has an abundant supply of water, furnLshed
by the many small streams flowing from its hill sides. The principal
stream is the Pequest river, which enters from Frelinghuysen on the
north and flows southwest Ihrongh the townsliip. The fanning land is
mostly rolling — some, howevei-, being comparatively ievel, and is per-
haps as susceptible of cultivation as any in the county. The soil is
principally limestone, though in the valleys may be found a daik rich
loam. The farms of Allanuichy are well cultivated and are he!. I at u
high tigme, which speaks well lor the thrift of the township.
A portion of the '• Great Meadows" is found in thi township This
is a vast tract of swamp or. bog land, covering an area of a"(Oir. 6,000
acres, and embracing portions of lour township- along the course nf the
Pequest — Hope, Independence and Allamuchy in Warren, and G'eea in
Sussex. In the year 1872 commissioners were appointed by the Supreme
Court, and constituted a Board of Managers for the purpose of draining
the " Great Meadows." The work has now been going on several year.s,.
and good results are being realized in the reclaiming of the land, and iu
the improved sanitary condition of this district Previously it wa.s a
famous malarial district, which has been considerably relieved by this
system of drainage. Allamuchy Pond, the only lake in the township,
is a small and rather pretty sheet of water, and is the source of a some-
what rapid little stream, running from its momentum rather thaa itR
magnitude, two or three grist mills..
328 ALLAiMUCHY TOWNSHIP.
Tl)e exact date of the lirst settlement in AUamiichy cannot be i;;iveu.
The most prominent and enterprising /judness man among the early
settlers was one Josepli Demund, who settled here about the year 1800.
He purchased (MO acres of land, where Allamuchy village now stands,
planted orchards, built a gri1;t mill and distillery attached, and did busi-
ness on what was then considered a large scale. He was fond of specu .
latinir, won the confidence of his neighbors, borrowed large amounts of
money, failed finally, and ruined a number of his securities. However,
tiirough his enterprise, Allamucliy in tlie early psirt of this century was
more prominent as a business place than Hackettstown. The Quakers
were :dso am')ng the early settlers of the township. In 1764 they built
he lirsl C^uakcr church in this portion of New Jersey, upon a site the
(Iced ff)r whicli was given by William Penn, for the purpose of " a
Friends meeting-house forever," which is the site of the present school
house of Quaker settlement, used also for church services. This building
contains a stove taken from the old one, and bearing the date •' 1764."
About 200 yards east of the school house is the old Quaker graveyard,
surrotuidert by a well built stonewall tive feet high, and still used for
burial purposes.
There are but tew villages in the township. Allamuchy, the chief
village, and the cmly business village, is located a little northeast of the
centre olthe township, and was probably the site of an old Indian village.
It has two stores, blacksmith sjiop, wheelwright sl)op. postotlice, Jiotel,
creamery and two giisl mills in close proximity.
Warre.nville is a hamlet, midway between Allamuchy and Hacketts-
towr). It was once (pnte a prosperous b\isiness place, but at present is
uuimportanl in that jKirticular. A]];imuchy has no regular church
organi/atiun. 'i'lic l.chigh and Hudson Kivcr Uailroad crosses the
township. Sciiools, 4; scholars, 212.

BLAIRSTOWN TOWNSHIP:.
(^T*S LAIRSTOWN is one of the most northern townships of Warrea.
1 \ Clonnty, and is so named in honor of one of her most tljs-
.■^^^ tini^uislied sons, John I. Blair, a railroad king and millionaire
of the present day. It was set off from Knowlton township by an act
of the State Legislature in February, 1845, and embraced 27.30 sq. miles».
or 17,472 acres of land. It has a popidatiou of about 1500. It is-
bounded as follows: North, Pahacpuirry township ; east. Hardwick antf!
Fielinghuysen ; south, Hope ; and west, Knowlton.
Tho Blue Mountains on the north form the boundary between tixe
townships of Pahaquarry and Blairstown. From the summit ot \hm
range is a .series of hills and valleys, like a giant staircase, leading dowju.
to the valley of the Paulinskill, q^ar the centre of the township. Oat
the south side of the Paulinskill is a gradual rise extending nearly %&.
the southern boundary of the township, where a ridge is reached, r^srn-
ning in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction across it and forB8&-
ing a local watershed ; the streams on the north running into the Paul-
inskill, and those on the south into Hope township. The soil i« cokj-
po-ed chiefly of a gravelly loam, susceptible of a high state of cuUm h—
tion, and is very productive when i)laced under proper treatment.
The iirincii)al stream in this township is the Paul-inkill, which runs-
through the central portion in a southwesterly direction and einpties-
into the Delaware. There are numerous other .small and unimjKrtant
streams. Cedar Lake, sometimes called Buttermilk pond from the
rnilky apjiearance of its waters, is a pretty sheet of water situate 1 about;
one and a half miles from the village of Blairstown, and has becoixi*
quite populai- as a local picnic ground and as a general summer resort-
One of the natural curiosities of this township, and perhaps the o uly
specimen of the kind to be found "n the United States, is Elephant
Rock. It is situated along the read leading from Jack.souburg to Wal-
nut Valley, about midway between the two places, and reseaibles verfr
exactly a big elei)hant asleep.
It is j)robable that the earliest settlements were made in the vicmitjr
of Walnut Valley and along the Paulinskill. The red men were here
ahead of the white settlers. There are still to be found the remains of
an Indian village along the Paulinskill, on the farm of David F. Brands,
BLAIRSTOWN TOWNSHIP. 333
ool far from the western border of the township. On the higli knoU
above what is now l^nown in thi-^ vicinity as the •*' Ijig spring" was the
old Indian burying-trround. where lie the remains of many a red man
whose spirit has long since gone to the "happy him ting ground."
Mounds and rude head.stones, marking the resting-places of the dead,
are still visible though overgrown by trees and underbrush.
The first town-meeting in Blairstown was held April 14, 184o.
T)ie villages of the township are as follows : Blairstown, the " gem of
the Paulinskill"', is beautifully and romatically situated on the right
bank of that stream, nine miles from its continence with the Delaware
liver, and about lialf-way between the capitals of Warren and Sussex
counties, being thirteen miles sf)uthwest of Newton and tifteen miles
northeast of Btlvidere. Blairstown is the natural centre of an extensive
scope of territory embracing all tne northern part of the county, and
even parts of western Sussex cimnty, bounded on the north by the Del-
aware, extending to the eastward of Stillwater in Sussex, south to the
Jenny Jump mountains, and Avest also to the Deleware. Its merchants
and business men have always been noted for their enterprise and have
always commanded a large share of the patronage, not onh- of the di.s-
trict just described, but also a veiy liberal patronage from Monroe and
Pike counties, Pa. The exact date of its settlement is not known, but
there are evidences that it is one of the oldest t^wns in the county. It
was originally called "Smith's Mills", in honor of the Smith who .set-
tled there at a very early date and built a large grist-mill and saw-raill
along the Paulinskill and near where King's blacksmith shop now
stands. It was next called "Butts' Bridge"; then "Gravel IliU", and
finally, Jan. 24, 1839, by a vote of the citizens it was called Blaii>^lo%vn,
in honor of Hon. John I. Blair, before referred to. At this place was
located one of the old-time whipping-posts. The Blairstown Prfiss was
established in 1877; the bi^ilding of that name was erected in 1880.
Blair Academy, a Presbyterian college preparatory school is located
here. There are in Blairstown : two churches, Presbyterian and Meth-
odist ; academy; public school; public hall ; hotel ; postoflSce ; general
and grocery stores ; BtairHtown Press ; carriage nianufactorj-, and nu-
merous smaller business places. Jacksonburg, a' small hamlet U Abated-
about one mile to the northwest of Blairstown. It was at one time
quite a business place. At the present time it has a school-house,
blacksmith and wheelwright shop, distiller}, store and gristm.ill. WaJ-
nut Valley, about four miles from Blairstown, was so called bccau-se of
the large number of blackwalnut trees growing in that section. The
postoflSce at this place was established in 1827, and was conducted by
the original postmaster for about 50 years. It has a hotel building,
blacksmith shop, and school building, ustd abo for church services.

FRELINGHUY8EN TOWNSHIP.
.<s
(^,HIS township was formed fr.jm Haidwick towusliip in 1848, and
is one of the X. E. border township^;. It was named in lionor
^ of Hon. Theodore Freliiighnysen. The township is about five
and a lialf miles long and lour a and half wide, and covers anarea of 22.69
S([uare miles or 14.o2l' acres, with a population of about 1100. It is
bounded <m I lie N. and NE. by Hardwick township and Sussex county
on the E. and SE. by Sussex county, and the townships of Allamuchy
anl Irnlependence ; on the SW. by Hope and Blairstown, and on the
N\V. l)y IJiairstown ana Hardwick. Paulin's Kill creek forms the
boundary line between Hardwick and Frelinghuysen.
The surface of tliis townsliip is very uneven, being co-i^ered with hills,
hollows, and rocky knol)s. The Jenny Jump mountains run along the
South Ha lern border, '• X ouiit Kascal," is a lofty limestone knob, near
the village of Johnsonsburg, covered with evergreens and scrub-oaks : it
is stud ii) be .1 resort for Sunday card players, hence the name. The
NortluM'^iern portion of the township is drained by the several small
tributaries of ihe Paulin's Kill, Bear creek and its tributaries drain the
Southeastern coi'iier, and Trout Brook the Southwrestern. There are
several small a..d beautiful lakes or "ponds," as they are called, sprinkled
throughout the townsliip, generally bearing the name of the individual
who owns or lias at some time owned the land upon which they are
found.
This towushi|) w^as first settled by Gej-man pioneers, at a very early
date — long before Warren county was thouglit of — whose love for free-
dom and religious liberty led them into this section of country, when it
was lull, a howling wilderness, in search of a home wliere they might
enjov lieed(jm of thouglit, and act according to the dictates of their own
cou cience witliout iear of molestation from any one. Among the.se
early pioneers was Dr. Samuel Kennedy, who located at John.sonsburg,
and was the first practicing physician of a fixed location in all this section
of country. His practice extended so tar over the comitry that pro.
fessional visits of twenty-five or tliirty miles were no uncommon event in
his career. He was an able practitioner, and prepared a numlier of
students for the medical profession. Drs. Linn and Everitt, who prac-
ticed amf)ng later generations, were among the number who received
their first medical instruction from Dr. Kennedy.
344 FRELINGHUYSEN TOWNSHIP.
The first voiinir jilace lor this township, of which we have knowledge
was Hi Trenton, thou :i vilhigc of Hunterdon county, though of course,
as in our day the voting place could Ijc appointed elsewiicre by vote of
the people.
Among the ancitnl land marks of this township are the " old lou"
jail," and the 'Dark Moon tavern." On the 31st, of March 17.>1. a
meeting of the Board of Justices and freeholders of the county, (then
rmhraring both Sussex and Warren.) met at the house of Samuel Green,
near the present site of Johnsonsbm'u, (the first body of the kind ever
convened in the county.) and appointed a meeting of all the qnalilied
persons of the county to be held at said Green's house on the 16th. liih
and 18th day.'; of April. 1754, " to elect u place to build a jail and court-
house." The meeting was accordingly held and the jail ordered to be
built near Jonathan Pettit's tavern and the county to bear the expense .
Jonathan Pettits tavern was located near what is now John-
sonsburg. The jail was cheai)ly and poorly built, and very uusati^-
faclorily served the purpose of a jail. During the nine years of iis
existence as a jail the county became responsible, on account of I lie
(liglit c(f imprisoned debtors to the amount of nearly £000 oi- ;d)out
•S;i.(K.IO, which was etjual to about fourteen times the expense of buHding
the jail.
The courts were held at the liouse of Jonathan Pcltit, near tiic log
jail. Irom Nov. 1753 to Fell. 17.-)(), when Newton was made the seat of
holfling the coints.
The " Dark Moon tavern" was located about 1,1 miles from the log
jail, on the road to Green'ille, and was kept prior to and long after the
Itevojulionary war. Its large, old fasinoned swinging sign had a black
nioon painted on a white backgroiuid. which gave to it and Ihe surro\md-
ing country the name of "Dark Moon tavern." Many stoiics and
tiirilHng adventures are told of this tavern, which in its palmy days was

one niile and a quarter above its junction with the Morris turnpike:
thenci- to :i jioint where the Brass C'aslle stream crosses the Oxford and
.N[anslield township line; thence to the point where the bridge crosses
the Musconetcong creek, u(;ar the house of William Runkle ; thence
down the middle of said stream to the place of beginning — shall be and
hereby is setoff from the township of Greenwich. Oxford and Mans-
tield, in the county of Warren, and made a separate township, to be
called ami known l)y the name of the ' township of Franklin."
" And he, it erMctsd, That the inhabitants of the township ot Franklin
shall hold tiieir first annual township meeting at the inn now occupied

line. Tlie ]\Iuiris Canal traverses the northern portion ot the township.
The soil of the township is principally clay, with a mixture of gravel.
Scarcely any saud is found within its borders. In the southern portion
there is a ridire ol slate about one and a half miles in e.xtent. The soi

Tlie grain in Franklin townshij) is usually good, large and prolific
crops being annually gathered. The surface of the township is undulat-
ing, exhiiiiting to the traveler alternate elevations and depres.sions.

GREENWICH TOWNSHIP.
=^
f7i
REENWICHlownsr.ipwas originally one of the four civil divisions
f^ J of Sussex county, and was until very recently the most southerly
^-^ of the township of Warren. When first torraedit compiiseda
vast extent of territory, but has been reducicd from time to time until at
present it i-* comparatively small, liavinii; a population of less than 1.2O0.
Green^jrich is bounded on tlie north by l.opatcong, east by Franklin,
south by Hilnterdon county and Pohaicong, west by Pohatcong.
The township i-^ crossed by the Morris ik Essex Railroad, and the
Morris Canal. The Lehigh Valley Kailroad also traverses the western
portion. The surface of (ireenwich is undiilatinir, presenting a' great
variety of scenery- port io s of which are very beautiful. The soil is
generally fertile, mueli of it being a combination of limestone clay, and
sand. Clay is mostly found in the central portion, with but little sand
interspersed. This is the most productive section of the township. The
principal occupation is farming, thousih mining intere.sts have begun to
spring up in this portion of the county. The several lime-kilns, located
here and there, add another item tot lie industries of the township. The
tine water-power facilities have given rise lo manufncturing aiid milling
intere.sts in vaiious ])oriion:~ of Gieenwich. t >nc nf ihe largest flour and
feed mills of the county is located at Cooksville, about one mile from
Stewartsville.
Perhaps the most interesting evidence (^f the antiquity ol this town-
ship is the ancient burial place connected with the (Ireenwich Presby-
terian Chuich, in which lie tiie remains of many settlers who came
hither prior to the war of the Kevolution. Indeed it is a relic of Revo-
lutionary times. The visitor who gazes upon the plain, ancient slabs
that mark the final resting place of so many of our country's early
settlers, cannot refrain from calling up in his imagination the dark days
of old, and in his vision (here appeai'cd many a manly and heroic f(»rm
whose sturdy, daring and ihithful adhi'rence to the principals of dul\-,
have rendered Green .-ich the happy dwelling place of hundreds, and
whose ashts now render sacred Cireeiiwich cemetery. Tliere are in the
township some other burial places of less than ancient date.

HOPE TOWNSHIP,
f OPE is the ceutral inlorior township of the county. Its name
jT is flerived from the pioneer Aroravians, who setth-rl here in
"^^ ^ 1 709, and gave that name to the locality in which ihey settled
which rinaljy beeanie the present villaiie ol Hope. This township was
cut otr from Oxford in 1830. Flope township is bounded on tiie north by
Blairstown and Frelinghuysen on the northeast and east by Freling-
huysen and independence ; on the southeast and south by Mansfield and
Oxfoid. and southwist and west by Oxford and Knowlton. The town-
ship contains 3,017 square miles or li),;5()9 acres of land ; present ]iopu-
latiou about 1,600
The siuface of Hope township is hilly and mountainous. The Jenny
.lump mountain lange crosses the township from northeast to southwest.
Limestone knobs abound tJiroughout the township. A great variety of
.scenery is presented in the township, portions of it being pictuiesqne
and beautiful. The soil along the "alleys of the Pe(|uest River and otLer
streams is very fertile, while that ufion tiie mountain sides is not com
mendablc for its fertility. Green's Pond, a i)i(nie and excursion resort
of local fame, is a beatitif ul sheet of water located in the southwestern
pnrl of the township. It is one mile long, and from one half to three-
quarters of a mile wide, and is snid to be named from the first settler in
till' township.
Silver Lake, so called because of the clear silvery appearance of its
surface, covers about "jOO acres in the northeast corner of the township.
There are a numlterof small streams in the township, among which are
Beaver Brook, Honey Itun and Muddy Brook. Upon tlie.se streams art*
numerous good mill sites, some of which are occupied.
Norllj of the village of Hope, and along tiie Beaver Hrook, are 557
acres of land called " Wet Meadow. '«"
About one mile southwest of Hope is a deposit of marl, where ii is
•aid to be four feet thick, under from two to four feet of muck.
Tlic first setllei within tiie present limits of Hope township is
suppf)scd to be S.unuel ftn-en. who came from Long Island about the
commencement of the French and Indian war. The exact place of his
location is not positively known, 4hough supposed to be either in the
vicinity ol Gr< <n's Pond or near what is now the village of Hope Mr.
Green was a deputy surveyor for the West Jersey proprietors, and was
the owner of a large tract of land, embracing about the whole of the
HOPE TOWNSEtlP. 367
pn'scut tOT/nsljip. Otber settlers fbllo-sved, amon? whom were Samsor
Howell, who settled at tlie foot of the Jenny Jump mountains built a
saw c.ill, and supfilied the Moravians with what lumbertheyn quired for
t'ncir buildings iit Hope. The Moravian;i brethren came here Jn 1760
from l-5etlilehem, Pa., and purchase<l of Samuel Green 1500 acres of land,
for which they paid about SI per acre. They founded the village of Hope;
lived there for about J3o ye rs, suffered pecuniary loss, and relurned to
Bethlehem in I8O0 or 18(6. The Moravian were a thoroughly honest
class of people, but by relying too much on the honesty of those whom
they dealt with, they suffered loss and were compelled to abandon their
Hope enterprise.
The towns of Hope township are : Rope, the principal town of the
townsh p, was founded by the Moravians, or United Bi-ethren, in 1769, and
was for a short time the seat of justice for Warren county. It is located
in the north central part of the township, being beautifully situated near
tlie )\ead waters ot P.i -aver Brook, up_n tlie banks of which it is built. It
is an inland town, lying among th<' picturesque hills and surrounded by
smiling valleys, and is a i<!rminus of tlie o'id Hoiie and Elizabeth turn,
pike. It is 12 miles ivom the famous Water Gap, 16 from Newton, 9
from Belvidere, and about 6 each from Blairstown, Delaware Station,
and Hridgevillfe, whicli arc its nearest railroad stations. A stajfo,
carryuig the mail, runs daily to tlic last named place; also one from
Hope to Warringion. ,
One of Die peculiarities i)f Hie liistory of Hoi)e, is the conversion of the
old stone chnreh of the Moravi-ans into a hotel at present, and for several
years passed occupied by H. W. Rmidle, while on the site of the old
Moravian tavern, stands the Christian church of to-day
In the building which is now the Union Hotel, in the year lb24, were
hfld the first courts for Waneii county, and thus Hope became a
rival of Hel idi-re when the question oi a county seat was to be deter-
mined. Hope has the advantages ot a very (jlcasant summer resort, and
has a fair prospect of being thus palroni/.ed. The Unrai House is
ahead}' accommodating a number of summer boarders
Hope has at piesent two hotels, four general stores, one drug store,
one hardware store, merchant tailor, harncssmaker, foundry and
machine shop, wlieelwright shop bhicksmilli sJioi), shoe shop, furniture
and undertaking establishment, meat market, saw mill, four churches,
physicians, lawyer, a public and private school, and a gristmill; popu-
lation, 250.
Mt. Herman, a neat little handel in the northwest corner of the town-
ship, has a church, sciiool-house, store and postoffice.
Townsbnry is situated in the southern part of the towu^liip, in tlie
Peqnest Valie} and on the Lehigh and Hudson railroad and is the only
point in the township having a railway station. It has a store, black-
smith shops, grist-riiill, saw-mill and poatoflace. Schools in township, 6
scholars. 363.

HARDWICK TOWNSHIP.
-:: n^ti
\\f ARDWICK is one of the northern northeast bonier townships of
'^Y ^^^^ county, and is bounded on the northeast by Sussex county,
'^^ ^ on the south and southwest by Pauliuskill, which forms the
boundary between this and Frelinghuysen townships, on the southwest
by Blairstown township, and on the northwest b\- the township of
Puhaquarry. It contains 15.91 square miles, or 10,182 acres of land.
Population at present about 650.
The surface of Hardwick is very uneven. All the streams of this
township flow in a southerly or southwesterly direction, which indicates
the general ticjpe of land. The Blue Mount.iins on the north form the
boundary between this and Pahaquary townships. This is the most
elevated portion of the township, and Irom this part southward to the
Valley of the Paulinskill is a succession of hills, valleys and ridges.
The principal titreara passing through this township is Waii' Creek, which
ri es iu the northeastern part, flows in a slightly southwestern direction,
crossing the township almost diagonally, and emptying into the Paulin-
skill at the village of Blairstown. 'I'his stream provides several g')od
mill si;;es, some of which are already occupied. .Jacksonburg Creek
rises also in the northeastern part, among the Blair Mountains, flows
southwest through Hardwick and Blairstown townships into the Paulins-
kill. White Pond is a beautiful sueet of water, situated about half a
mile north of 1 aulinskill, and about halfway between the northeast anu
southwest borders of the township. This name is given to the pond on
account of the deposits of white shells, which are {tlainly visible at its
bottom. Shuster Pond, named from an early settler of that name, and
Mud Pond, so-called because of its muddy appearance, are small bodies
of water found in the township.
There are no settlements of impcnlance in this township, which is
doubtless due to the fact that the surroundings necessary to suggest and
invite the building of a town are wanting. There is good farming land
in the township, and considerable timber resources, with probable
mineral wealth, and many of the people areiu comfortable circumstances.
The first settlers came here about the year 1735. Among the first were
376 HARDWICK TOWNSHIP.
a number of Q?i»kers, whtj, afti-r a time, constrained to migrate into
Hunterdon county, that they might carry on llicirJiusineRs as millers,
there beinfj no mills in Hardwick at this early date. The first mill in
thiR township was built about the year 1T83, near the present village of
Paulina. The^mill at Marksboro wassfion afterward built. The tiist gener-
al election in this townsh'p, which at that time embraced also Freling-
huysen, was held in 1791. The division of the towiishij) was made in
1848. The original Hardwick was formed by royal patent in 171o. The
first town meeting of which we have any record met at the house of one
Deborah Hettit, on the 8th of March, 1774. At this time the "Town
Committee" was known as a " committee to settle with the Overseers ot
the Poor and to assist them." The words "and for other purposes"
became a part of the title in 1775. In 1779 they were termed " Com-
missioners of Appeals and a committee to settle with ihe Overseers of
the Poor ;" in 1781 " a committee to settle all the i)ublic business ol the
town;" in 1799 "committee of the town;' in 1801, "committee of
five;" in 184:^. "township committee;" and in 1S44 "town com-
mittee," which title is still retained. The first school committee seems
to have been oi'giinized in 18:!4. In 1847 the conuniltci' was comi.osed
of one person. The last townshiji school superintendent was Lenuicl
F. L. Wilson, who held oflSce in 1866.
Among the ')usiness interests of Hardwi«k may be mentioned the
following : The saw mill of A. J. Hill, which stands on the site ot the
old pioneer giist-milj. ])uilt by Peter B. Shaler abont the close of the
war of the Revolution. A sash and blind factory at Paulina ; the old
Wintermute saw-mill ; a sorghum factory on Pauliiiskdl near Winter-
mutes saw-mill; a saw-mill and tannery at Slabtown ; a saw-mill on
Blair Creek, and one on Jacksonhurg Creek, and a grist-mill on Blair
Creek. Hardwick once had a cotton factory on the banks of the I'aidins-
kill, and about midway between Paidina and .Maiksboro, the walls of
which may still be seen. It has not been in active opcsralion since about
the year 1835. There is no regular church organization in the townshi^'
at the present time, and but one cemetery, situated in the southern part
of School District, No. 78, on the road leading from Slabtown to Marks-
boro, in which a number of the i)ionncer settlers are sleeping.
A temperance society was fornied in this township as early as \H'M),
and was known as the " Hardwick Temperance Society." It has long
Rince dwindled into in.Mgnificanct'. and is ii(»\v only a thing of the past,
and the fathers who toniicd it have i)een long in pos.sestsion of their re'
ward. There are but two schools in the lownshsp with 99 scholars.

HARMONY TOWNSHIP.
**=
^^1 ARMONY is one of the soiitli western border townships of War-
]^ ren county, being situated in the so\itliern part of tiie tier of
^^^ ^ townships along tlie Delaware, and was formed in 1S89, hav-
ing up to tliat time embraced portions of Greenwieh and Oxford. Its
dimensions are six miles long by five miles in Invadth. and it contains
13,881 acres of land.
The Belvidere divisiou of the Pennsylvania Kaihoad erosses ihe
western part of the township, along and nearly jiarallel with the Dthi-
ware river, and has a station at Martin's Creek, and flag stations at
Hutchinsons and Ro.xburg. Harmony is bounded on the north by Ox-
lord and the Delaware, on the east by Franklin, on t])e south by Lopat-
cong, and on the west by the Delaware.
The surface of this township is considerably varied, being covered
with mountains, hills and valley. Scott's Moiuitain extends into the
lownHhip of (J.xford, running northeast and southwest near the eastern
boundary. Marble Moiuitain, and its extension Ragged Ridge cross the
townshljt in the center, running also northeast and southwest.
The soil of the township, like its surface, is varied. Along the
Delaware is a flat composed mostly of .sand and limestone. Marble
Mountain has a soil made uj) also of limestone and other coarse nuUerial
of a eliaracter not to be highly conunended for its f«rtilily. There is
also a small portion of wet laml, but the grealer part of the township is
fertile and productive. Harmony townshi)) is well watered. Its west-
ern border is washed by the Delaware: Lopatcong Creek, a tribntaiy
of the Delaware, rises in S(!otts .Mountain and flows in a southwestern
direction through the townshij); Meriets Rrook has its source in the
same moimtains, and flows south into Greenwiiii township. Harmony
is one of 1 he most pictureM(|ue townships in the county.
The first .settlements were made prior to the Revolutionary War. but
the exact dale cannot be given. The early settlers were probably
mixed, coining from diflerent fatherland.-. Amonj; the most important
were those of EuLdisli e.xtraction.
The village* ol Harmony are as follows : Montana, situated iu the
HARMONY TOWNSHIP. 381

terian church, a Eai)tist church, school house, blacksmith shop, store
and [.ost office.
Roxburg, in the northern part of the township, has a grist mill, black-
smith shop, store and and post office, a foundry, and the best public
school building in the township, used also lor union church services.
It is about '>ne mile from the Delawaie and four from Belvidere. ,
Upper Harmony, located near the center of the township, has a store,
post office, blacksmith shop, undertaker's establishment, public school,
and a line Piesbyterian church, recently erected on the site of the old
one, adjoining which is " Fairview Cemetery," the finest burial place in
the township.
Brainards, situated in the central western part of the township, along
the Delaware, and at the junction of the Martin's Creek division of the
Bangor II. R. with the Bel. Del. R.R., is simply a post hamlet.
Lower Harmony, located about a mile southwest of Upper Harmony^
has two grist mills, a blacksmith shop, store, public school, and a
Methodist church. It has no post office. Lower Harmony has a
burial ground supposed to have been used over one hundred years.

INDEPENDENCE TOWNSHIP.
'^-^^^
Ys »
/ ^DEPENDENCE, located in the eastern part of the county, is
V Ixmmled on the uortliwest by Frelinghuysen ; on the northeast
— »_ ' l».v Allainiichy ; on the southeast by Hackettstown and Mans-
fiehl ; and on the west and north by Manstield and Hope. It contains 16.8«
square miles, or 10,836 acres, and has a population of about 1100. The
Morris canal is the dividing line between Independence and Haclcetts-
towu, and the Jenny Jump mountains between Independence and Fre-
linghuysen. The Pequest River crosses the township from northeast to
southwest, and witli its many tributaries supplies it well with water,
and tits it for agricultural products. Tlie Lehigh & Hudson K. K.
cros.ses the township just a little north of the centre.
The land in Independence is very uneven, being composed in the
soiulieasiern part of ranges of hijfh hills and deep gullies.
•'On the road leadmg from Hackettstown, northwest to Vienna— a
ste:'|) hill, ncaily a mile long has to be surmounted. When tlic top is
reached tbc land is Ibuud to be rolling, \n\\ laid out in good farms. As
Vieiuia is a|iproachfd, a long bill is descende*! fully a mile in length.
'I'liiMi the hcaiuilnl valley <if the PcC|uest is reached, when- may be seen
some of the finest fiirnis in the c(Hintry. Rough as the uplands are they
atfonl abundant crops. The soil i> largely composed of limestone on the
hills and hillsides; in the \ alleys is a dark loam and needs but little
cultivation to J)e made to produce nu)st beautifully. The "Jenny
Jump" mountains is a high range of hills l)ordering the towu.ship on the
northwest. The origin of its name is a matter of tiadition. Probably
the must ridiuble account is that as an old .settler was driving down the
steep side of the mountain his team becaiiK; unmanageable, and being in
great danger of being capsized, lie called to his wife wlio.se name was
Jenny, to jump — wliich she did, thereby .saving her life. Be this as it
may, the mountains have boin this name far back of the memory of any
living man."

Thfic is :in abiimlance of limestone throughout the h)\vnshif>, large
quautities of which are quarried foi' fertilizing purposes. The soil of
nearly all the farming laud is composed of this disintegrated limestone.
The rock extends from the Pecpiest Valley well up the sloi)e of the hill-
sides, wljere a dark slate crops oul. There is an abundance of iron ore
in vai'ious parts of the township, although not worked to any great ex-
tent .
Vienna. Danville and Petersburg are the three villages located in the
township. Vienna is situated one mile southeast of Danville, and is a
pleasant village of about ;$00 inhahiiaids. It was settled at a very early
date. Danville is located in the western part of the township near the
Hope township line. It has fewer inhabitants than its more beautiful
neighbor, Vienna. Petersburg is a small hamlet of half a dozen houses.
There are three churches in the township viz: The Pecpiest Metho-
dist Episcopal Church : the Danville Presbyterian Church, and the
Christian CInuch, at Vienna. TI.e Methodist Churcii was {)rojected in
1^10, but was not finished till 1S34. The site for the church was pur-
chased of John Cummins for the siuii yf thirty dollars. Prior to 1810,
the Methodists held meetings in the old slime house of Mr. Philip Cum-
mins. Here Mishop .\sb\iry occasionally stayed and preached. It is
said that this was the first Methodist Church in what was then Sussex
county. A new church in winch the congregation now worship, was
built in tHr»5. The Danville Presbyterian Church was formerlv an out-
post or mission connected with the HackettstoWn Ghtnch. In 1824 a
stone church was built, ;iid in ISO^ it was remodelled to its present con-
dition— one of liie most beaiitifid and comfoitable in the Presbytery.
The Christian Oltiuch was first organized at Caddington, now called
Petersburg, in 18;{'.l, and the present church at Vienna built in 1858.
The drainage of the Great Meadows was a great thing for Indepen-
dence, and some of the finevi and most iirofitabh; land in the State is no\r
cviltivated wiieie formerly was simply marsh and Ixjg. Tiure are three
schools in Independence townshii>, viz : Vienna, Danville and Peters,
' btirg with a total of 200 scholars.

KNOWLTON TOWNSHIP.
NOWLTON is one of the three northern townships of the
county, and whose northern houudary is formed by the
Ivittalinny Mountains. It was formed from Oxford in 17G4,
at wliich time it embraced parts of Hope and Blairstown townships.
The name of the township is said to be derived from the appearance of
its surface. It is bounded on the north by Paliaquarry, on the east by
Blairstown, on the soutli by Hope and Oxford, and on the west by the
Delaware Hiver. It has an area of 25.1o square miles or 16,083 acres of
land. This township presents a considerable variety of surface. Along
the Delaware, and in the valley of the Paulinskill, the soil is rich and of
alluvial formation, while along the mountains in the north it is mostly
a gravelly loam and less fertile. The soil in the southern part of the
township varies with the location. The surface of the township is
uneven, having upon it a large number of small knolls or hills, some of
which an- limestone knobs. From this tact the townsliip was written
foi a numiicr of years as h'/toU-\o\\n. The principal .streams ol Kuowl-
toii arc. tin; Paulinskill w tiifji crosses the central portion of the town-
ship in a southwestern direction and cmplies int<» tlie Delaware; Yard's
Creeii., a iribwtarv of 111.' i'aiiliii^kill : and Sliawpocussing and Centre-
ville (Greeks, botli tribularif^s ot the Delaware. The New Jersey side of
the famous Delaware Water Gap, is in the northwestern part of this
township.
The first settlers were Germans who came here to enjoy religious lib-
erty. Among these pioneers was (me Robeson, whose son was shot by
the Indians while endeavoring to cross the river at the point now known
as "Robeson's Rift." In honor of this son the rift was named.
The chief business of this township is farming, though the slate fac-
tories, bending works, etc., carry on an amount of trade worthy of
mention.

LOPATGONG TOWNSHIP.
'^:
~» *^
OPATCONG is one of the smallest townships of Warren County
,ancl is situated in the southwestern purt, along the Delaware.
It is odd in outline, having the shape of a wedge, as if to split
Harmony from GreenWich. Its extreme length and breadth are about
equal, each being about four miles. It is bounded on the north by
Harmony, on the east and soutli by Greenwich, and on the west by the
borough of Phillipsburg and the Delaware,, which separates it from
Pennsylvania.
The surface is uneven, and in parts somewhat mountainous. The
agricultn re of the township is ia a flourishing condition, which faci la
attested by the existence of many well-to-do tarmers within its limits.
There is considerable mineral wealth in Lopatcong, but no important
developments in this line have yet been made.
This township has no village within its limits, a fact possibly due to
the proximity of Phillipsburg and Kaston. • It is traversed by the rail-
way lines ot the New Jersey Central, the Morris & Essex, .the Bolvidere-
Delaware, and the Easton and Amboy. The Morris Canal passes near
the soutliorn and eastern borders.
Tiie date of the first settlement cannot, -be deti,nit*ly ascertained, but
there are evidences that the history of the township began as early as
1740, and perliaps even earlier. Amfmg the very earliest settlers was
one John Feit, who emigrated to America from the Rhine country,
between Germany and France, and settled in the vicinity of ihe present
town of Phillipsburg about the year a1)oVe mentioned. It is known th^t
he married there in 1741. The only circumstance, of which we' have
knowledge, influencing his emigration, is thrt he caqie hither to escape
military proscription, which was at tlrat lime driving so many Germans
to the New World. He came to' this cou.ntry wlien about eighteen
years of age, an . must have been the son of .wealthy parents, as at that
agi.' he could hardly have acquired a fortune for himself, his extensive
land purchases showing that he was well supplied witii money. The
old homestead of the pioneer Feit has remained in the family lir\e while
three generations have passed away, and has been for som* tirrie .the
home of the tourth.

MANSFIELD I0WN8H1P.
W ANSFTELD is one of the two south central border townships of
Vi* V,_ ^\hc county. Thf nrea of the township is 27.8 square miles
or 17,805 acres. It is boiiudfd on the north by Hope town-
ship, on the northeast by Indi^pendence. on the east by the Musconet-
cong, on the south by Wa.shingl(»n, on the southwest by Washington and
Oxford, and on the west and norihwest by Oxford and Hope. it has a
pf^pulation ot about 1,800. The Morris canal and the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and VVes'ern Railroad pas!« through the entire township from east
to west.
The surfacp ot the township is undulating, two chains of uills running
its entire length from east to west. The Alu.sconetcong River forms the
entire southern boundary of llie township, and the beautiful Mueconet-
cong valley, tilled with picturesque and productive farms, comprises the
whole southern por'ion of the township, running parallel with the chain
of hills on the north. Just north of the viilley and almost parallel with
it, run the Morris & i-:8^c.\ Caual and K. L. & W. It. K. Some of the
most pnjduetive farms of the county are found in this township and in
this valley, though much ol the laud, on account of its l«>cation and slaty
nature, is not susceptible of a high state of cultivation. Tht land in
the valley botlomh and to a considerable e.\l(;nl the uplands are anusual-
ly rich and easily cultivated. Many of the farms iu the Musconetccmg
valley yield from sixty to seventy-tive bushel.s ol corn and fr«im one and
a half to two tons of hav per acre.
The valley along the Morrif tjaual is wide, the hilln on the wjuth side
sloping off gradually, but on the north .side iu some places the hills rise
abruptly from the canal Beyond this ridge, on the north, is the Pohat-
ctmg villey, through which runs th»; creek of that name. This creek ha*
its source in Independence township, on the stock farm owned by Dr.
W. A. Conover. The soil in this valley is ver}- rich, and the farms
throughout the eiitin township give evidence of con.siderable scientific
agricultural knowledge on the part of the farmers.
Two other streams Old Hollow lirf)ok and Trout Brr-ok, run through
the town.ship in a southwesiern direction, both di.schurging their waters
into the Musconetcong.
rS^There are also indications of considerable mineral wealth iu the town-
ship, though at the present time these resourse** are comparatively
neglected.

Among the recent busine^s interests of lln^' ,iiiwn.ship are the creamer}'
liitely established at Port Murray, and the Poultry Yard of Dr. H. M.
(Jox of the same jilace. Dr. Cox has in his yard, though .so lately estab-
lished, sonic of the Unesl birds to be f(au)d anywhere in thecoiuilry, and
his patronage is fast bf'coming e.xten.sive. For some time he was the only
je^iilent phys'ciau of the town.ship,
Till' Warren Slate Co., located at P(jrl ^Murray, does a thiiving business
and luinsoul a good ([uality of slale.
There are several small towns in the township, some <if which are very
enlerprising. The oldest is iieatlyslo.wn which in IbOO was a thriving
hamlet. In lH','.-> it was said to be mOre of a bu.siuess place than llack-
etlstown. being then the chief markei of this vicinity for gi'uiu and all
kinds of pro(lue''. 'i'lii-rc were al.-o more r<.'>idenc(is in iJeatlystown then,
than ai the piesi nl time, it has a store and jiosi office, gri^L mill, school
lumse, M. E. chiu-ch, blacksmith sho[i and wdieelwrighl shop. Present

OXFORD TOWNSHIP.
• f Oxford is (
is oiu; of the westeru border townships of the count\ . It is
\»i/ bouuded oil the northeast by Hope, southeu&t by ilanslield
and Washiugton, on the southwest by Harmony, and on the w est and
n»)rthwest by the Delaware river and Kuowlton township.
It wa.'^ tormed from Greenwich township about the year 1753 or 1755,
and received its name in honor of Oxford University. England, at which
place the lather of one of Oxford's chief pioneer's was educated. The
wwnship contains 32.17 square miles or 20,589 acres of kind. The
soil of the townsLip is a mixture of clay and gravelly loam, with a layer
of limestone and slate underneath. .u the valley it is especiall}- fertile
and su.sceptible of cultivation, the hills also, yielding readily to the farm-
ers plow.
The surface of Oxford is perhaps as uneven asanyinthe county,
it has however, a proportionately extensive front along the Delaware,
which, wlu;n added to the Pequest valley, gives it considerable flat sur-
face.
There are numerous mountain ranges in the township, among which
are Scott's along the >,outheast bordi-r of the township, going we.-itvvard
or north weslwara we have next the Ragged Ridge, an entension of Mar-
ble mountain running into this township; from Harmony and parallel
wiih Scott's; Manunka i^huiik mountain in the northwest and along the
Delaware is the next and last westward range, of importance. Scotv'a
mountains lie between Scott's and Ragged Ridge, and Mount Nomore,
judl west of Oxford Furnace, beside several others that arc up to this
time, nameless.
The principal streams are Request Creek, which Hows through the
tt»wnship ill a southwesterly direction and empties in the Delaware at
IJelvidere. Beaver IJiook and Furnace Creek boih tributary U) the Pe-
quest Cieek; Oxford Cieek, a tributary to the Delaware and Buck
Horn Brook flowing into Harmony township. The Delaware river may
also be numbered among the the streams of Oxtbrd. it washes the
weatern side of the township and furnisiies excellent water power at var-
ious pouits. About half a mile below what is known as Raphaudusiug
Cr«ek, is Fool Rift, where the channel of the nver is rapid and naviga-
tion is dangerous.
The pioneer settlers of Oxford, were, a Mr. Oxford and a Mr. Creen,
who were .soon followed by a numbei of other lamilies, most of whom
came iKitwecn 17:15 und 17K». Tin- fii.-.t cftngregatifin was formed at Ox-
ford FuruuC uboiii ihf viar 1T4G, a >hoil liiue afu-i the starling of the
Fui'nacc. The second cougiegaliou wa? lormed at old Oxford in 174^.
482 OXFORT) TOWNSHIP.
The (owns of tlic township are a« follows:
Oxford Furnace, tlie cLk-f town, is siluatfd (>n the Delaware, Lacka-
waimu and Western Railroad, in the soiillioasfern part of he township,
The first settler was Jonallian Robeson, the son of the Rohesf)n in honor

nace Hill on Ihe east, Jonestown on the south, Dutch Hill on the west,
Pittengervilleon the northwest and Hniiihvilleou 'iie north, all of which
are so peculiarly lacated thai the town taken as a whole cannot be dis-
tinctly seen from any one of these, and no one passing- Ihrouo-h the place
would suppose the population to be <^ven nearly what it is. 1 he mer-
cantile business of the place is mostly conducted by the companj' store,
which is perhaps the largest of i ^^ kind in the county. Jonestown has
a general store, Dutch Hill two stores, Smithville a small store and drug
store besides some other small business places scattered throughout the

PAHAQUARRY TOWNSHIP.
(i)
AIIAQUAIiRY. Tliis township, somefirnes spoken of a.^ "tbe
State of Pahaquarry," is tl\e extreme ncrthern township of
Warren t'oiip'ty, ninniug across the entire county, an ■ was
termed from Walipaok township, Sussex County, in lH->4. It is bounded
on the no'lh by ilie Delaware liiver, on ihe east by Su'-nex Co., on the
south by Hardwick, Biairsiown, and Know Itou lownsiiips. and on the
west by the Delawme Kiver. It is a prt;idiarly s (-iiided townsliip, hav-
ing for its norlliern boundary the Delaware River, and for it southern
boundary the Blue .VIountain. The lenjjth <d' IIk' lowMshiji is 12 nnles,
averaffft width li miles. Its area is 19. ()4 Nt|uare miles or 12, 186 acres
of land. The name of the township is derived from an Indian village,
of the Miuisink tribe, unce located within its Jiiuil-.
fhe Blue Mountain, whicji forms the entire southern bouixlary of the
township, ooinipiey I lie greater part of its surface. The remainin/r por-
tion consists of but a small strip alon*: the Delaware, about one fourtli
of a mile in widlb. runnin;^ also the entire lenj^lh of ilir lownsliip. The
rustic beauty, and n.iounlain scenery of F^aliai|u:trry is truly piciuresfpu-
and sublime in noirditiary deiiree. Ft^remos' among the nalurai attrac-
tions of the township is the celebrated " Delaware Water Gap." hx-ated
at the southwesU'rn end. M this point in tlie township, the rocks riae
almost perpendicularly in rugged masses, presenting a bold Ihreateiung
front forty or tilty fe.M in bight. This is known as tbe ' Indian Lad-
der," the Indians having form<d beie a laddi-r foi themselves fmm a
tree, the upriglit position of which served their purpose. The white*
also for their accommodation constructed a rope huUh-r, but its use wue
attended with considerable danger and it was finally abandoned. At
the present time a wagon and also a railroad run along the river, making
the use of ti»e former contrivance unnecessary.
452 PAHAQUARRY TOWNSHIP.
On the summit of the Blue jWouulaiu, near tlio iiortlieastern end ol
the township, is "Cat Fish Poni," the line of the township running
just southeast of the ponii. Its outlet flows into Blairstown. About
two miles southwest of this is " Sun Fish Pond," also on the summit (.1
the mountain, l,Ot)f) ft. above tbe Dehiware, aiuf having two outlets,

the highest ground in the State, being at the Water Gap nearly 1,800
ft. above sea level.
Thit first settlement In WarTen Vounty, was nuide in this township, per-
haps by a iiundred and fifty years. The ))ioneer settlers were Jl(jlla7i(i-
ers. who came here in search of minerals as early as IBHO, and, it is
thought, discovered copper, within the present limits of the townsliip.
But the natural obstructions of this section (which might be turned
into natural advantages), were such as to ju'event an\' inijioi tani di-vtli p-
ment in this direction. Tliis township used to l)e vi.-ited by lloraie
Greely Vi hen on his rustic excursions.
There is but (uie village in the townsliip. Mill Bnok, in the iiortli-
ea»lern part, at the foot of the Blue Mountain, and im Mill Brook Creel- 1
hits a gristmill, blacksmith shop, ?tore and post office, M. E. Chilreli,
hotel and school houM'.
The Delaware Slate C'ompuuy have their works in Die .south \\ cstern
end of the towushij) At this place is a small collection of houses for
the accommodation of the employees. There are two other pot-l rfflces
in the lownhbi]), known as ('alno and Pahaquairy.

POHATCONG TOWNSHIP.
0,
I OHATCO^vG is I he southwestern township of Warren County.
^*^^ It was until rectntiy embraced in (Jreenwich, fruni which it
was formed by un aet of tlie btate Legishilure, approveil March
24; 18H1. Tlie lownsliip contains H,i>ii\ acres of hmd, or a liiiie less tlian
Yd .s(iuare miles. It is bounded north and n(;rthwest by the Delaware
Uivff, east and northetist by Greenwich, southeast by the Musconet-
tn)ng, and southwest by the J)eiaware. The Pohalcong Creew crosses the
lownslnp fr<»ni northeast to southwest, a little south of the centre.
In i.hy.sical characteristics it very much resembles Greenwich. 'I'he
land is rolling and hilly, and the soil fertile. The chief imlu.stry w
farming, tor which the township has special advantages. The pro.xinuty
of the cities of Phillipsburg and Easton, makes it a desirable location
for the fanner, who thus tinds a ready and convenient market for hi«
produce. The water facilities of i^ohatcong also, .ire worthy of
.special mention, and are such as would invite the manufacturer to locale
his business within her limit.s.
Of lh<! first settlements within the present limits of the township, we
have but lifile definite infurmation. The Seigies, the descendants of
wiiom are quite numerous in the township, are known to be amoug ihe
first settlers. The.v can\e to this countiy willi William Fenn, ^and
settled in the township, now known a*; Pohatcong, which vva.s a part of
Penu's grant, it is probable liml the first settlers located in the vicinity
of the i)re.sent town of 8eigleville, formerly Middleville. The present
name of the town will probably perpetuate the historic name of ita
founders.
The following are tlie towns of Pohatcong ;
Keiglesvillfc, in the southwest part along the Delaware, has a pa|)er
mill grist mill, hotel, store, post oltice and RAi. station.
Fiuesville. in the .south part along the Mu.sconetcoug, has a knife
faclorj', two store-., blMcksinith and wheelwright shop, carriage factory,-
M. E. and C'hristian churches, and pidilic school.
Seigleville, about a hall a mile from Finesville, lias an earthenware
uianufHCtory, grist mill ami grain cradle manulactory.
Hughesville, also along the Alu.sconelcong, is the seat of the Warreu
paper mill, and has u store and an unoccupied mill seat.
Carpenlersville. in the uorthwe<«i, along the Delaware, ha.s a church,
<iepol and school hou>e.
Springlown, in the east, aloii the P(»hatcong, has two >itore.s, black-
smith shop, grist mill and a > hristian church.
Schools, 4. Scholars, :J28. Populati<m, about 1,150.
There is one other i ^wn in the, township which is really a suburb of
Phillipsburg, and its business is rather related to that town than to ik»»
towoahip.

WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP.
— » «-
\ A / ASHINGTON township is situated about midway between
V V the northern and southern ends of Warren county along thft
Musconetcong. As a township it may be called "The Flower
pf the Musconetcong." No more beautifid scenery is presented in the
county than is to be seen in this township.
Prom Washington Borough, looking westward, in I he direction of
Phillipsburg, may be seen a landscape tnily picturesque and striJiingly
beautiful.
In shape, the township is almost square, its eastern and westtrh sides
being at right angles with the Musconetcong, and its northern boundary
in general direction, almost partillel with it. It is bounded as follows ;
north, Oxford; east, Mansfield; south, the Musconetcong, and west,
Franklin,.
The Borough of Washington is located in the centime of the town.ship
And is described elsewhere in this work.
Present population ot the township, about 2,300.
The physical features of this township are considerably varied. Smil-
ing valleys, hills rising along and above them, and mountains looming
up here and there are i.s characteristics. It is well watered with numer-
ous springs and small streams, the township being drained almost whol-
ly by the Musconetcong and the Pohatcong, the one forming its southern
boundary, the othei' crossing its central portion.
The Pohatcong mountains as the principal range. The loftiest mo\m-
tain in this section of country is Scott's Mountain, near Oxford Furnace,
being about 1,120 feet above the sea level. The elevation of the Pohat-
cong Mountains in the vicinity of Washington is much less, be.iig
but about 500 feet. Most of the mountains in this t-ection have a marked
characteristic — to the northeast they slope very gradually until they sink
out of sight, while at their southwest ends the decline is broken and sud-
den, which is possibly the result of the diluvial period.
Oae of the most romantic places, for a single day's rustication, to be
found anywhere, may be visited in this township. "Roaring Rock," of
local fame, is a miniature cataract in th(f course of Brass Castle Creeli,
situated about a mile and a halt from Washington Borough, and is much
vi«iled by picnic paities and the lovers of romantic and picturesque
WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP. 467
scener)', The Rock is about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long. It was
originally called the "Iiniian Stompei" tVoin the fact that it was once
used by thf; Indians for gi-indiii^ or crushing corn.
There are evidences that the history of the township begins with that
of ChftUgewater, in 1787. and that Chaugcwater was more prosperoue .
than Washington prior to 1800. There were settlers in the township,
however, as early as 1769.
The principal occupation of the inhabitants of the townsiiip, is farm-
ing, and stock raising. Several othei- industi-ies are reprevented, such
as milling, tanning, stone quarrying etc., but are not carried on to any
great extent.
Forraery other industries received attention in this township, which
are now not existing, a i ong which was that ofcanal-l>oat building. Two
boat yards were in active operation, one at Washington and one at Port
Colden, in which many boats were built annually. The Morris Canal
and the Morris & Essex RR. furnish employment to a number of men
in the township.
The towns are: Port Colden, situated on the Morris & Essex RR. and
the Morris Canal, and is said to be naaied in honor of Cadwalader Col-
den, who was Governor of the State of Sew York, under the second
period of the English administration, during the year 1760-61. The
.settlement was first called "Dusenberry's Folly," in < ontempt for Wm,
Dusen berry, one of th" founders of the place, for being so foolish as to
think that a large town would at some time occupy I lie present site of
the village.
The oldest settler here was Newbold Woolsion, grandfather of the
present James B. W<K)lston. It has three st.tres, a blacksmith shop,
post office and schr)o]house. It is about one mile from Washington.
Changewater, so called because of tlie -ieparation and conducting of
the waters from the upper and lower banks of the .Vlusconetfong, into
two counties, Warren and Hunterdon, by tlu' mill races of the "Old Forge,"
is located in the southern part of thetowusliip. wliere l\n- D. L. «fc W.RR.
crosses the Musconetcong. It was the scene of the murder of the Cast-
ner family, by Carter and Parks, whose graves are along the road lea<l-
ng to Port Colden, and just nortli of Mic villagf; of Changewater. Parks
was a biother-in-law of Castner. D.ite of tlu; murder, 1844. Change-
water has an excellent flouring mill, a picture frame factory, store post
office, school house and limestone (juari ies.
Brass Castle, supposed to be so called because one Jacob Biass, in
the old pioneer days erected at this place his log castle, is located in the
northwestern part of the township ui)on the north bank of the Moms ca-
nal. It has a grist mill, blacksmilli shop, saw mill, school houf^e and
8tore of recent date.
Imladale has a st< re and grist mill.
Fairmount has a school house and foundry.
Washington Borough is described elsewhere. Schools 5, scholars 3flfl.
